Pushpa 2 stampede issue: Pawan Kalyan blames the makers; comes out in support of Allu Arjun

The latest controversy surrounds Allu Arjun and the Pushpa 2 stampede incident.

Pawan's strongest remarks were directed at the Pushpa 2 team. He criticized their lack of responsibility, stating that it was unacceptable for no one from the team to visit the victim’s family immediately after the incident.

"This is a tragic event, and Allu Arjun was left to face it alone. Someone from the team should have visited the woman’s family or at least checked on the boy at the hospital. By neglecting this, they prolonged the issue unnecessarily," Pawan stated. His comments have since gone viral on social media.
