Hyderabad (Telangana) (India), Dec 14 (ANI): Superstar Allu Arjun was released from Chanchalguda Central Jail on Saturday morning after the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail in connection with the tragic incident that took place during the premiere of his latest film ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ at Sandhya Theater on 4th December.

Allu Arjun, addressing the media after his release, expressed his gratitude for the support received and reiterated that the incident was an unfortunate accident. “Thank you all for the love and support. I want to thank all my fans. There is nothing to worry about. i am fine I am a law abiding citizen and I will cooperate,” he said.

He also sent his condolences to the family of the deceased, emphasizing: “We are extremely sorry for the family. I personally will be there to help you in any way possible.”

The actor went on to clarify that he had no direct involvement in the tragic incident, which happened outside the theater while he was inside watching the film with his family. “It was purely accidental and unintentional… I have been going to the same theater for the last 20 years and I have been to the same place more than 30 times. There has never been an accident like this before. I should reserve my comments because I don’t want to say anything that would alter the case,” he added.

The tragic event took place when Allu Arjun arrived at Sandhya Theater for the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ on December 4.

As fans gathered outside to catch a glimpse of the actor, the situation quickly turned chaotic. Reports suggest that Allu Arjun’s gesture of waving to the crowd from the hatch of his vehicle led to the chaotic situation. The ensuing chaos resulted in the death of a woman, Revathi, and the injury of her son.

Authorities claimed that the actor’s security team was responsible for pushing the crowd to clear the way for the actor’s vehicle. The police also claimed that despite being informed about the large crowd and potential danger, Allu Arjun’s team failed to take necessary steps to defuse the situation.

According to the police, the actor’s prolonged stay in the theater after being alerted about the situation could have contributed to the unfortunate tragedy.

Allu Arjun’s release was met with a strong show of support from his family and colleagues. His father Allu Aravind spoke to the media expressing his gratitude for the wide support his son has received during the ongoing legal proceedings.

“I want to thank the media in India for their tremendous support to Bunny (Allu Arjun) during the success of his film and for yesterday,” Allu Aravind said.

Actors Vijay Deverakonda, Rana Dagubatti, producer Dil Raju, director Sukumar and other prominent Tollywood figures were spotted at Allu Arjun’s residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad to be with him after his release.

His father-in-law Kancharla Chandrasekhar Reddy was also present to lend his support.

The arrest and subsequent legal proceedings sparked widespread reactions. Allu Arjun’s legal team, led by advocate Ashok Reddy, expressed displeasure over the delay in his release despite the High Court’s order to grant bail. Reddy referred to the extended detention as “illegal” and hinted that he would take further legal action if necessary.

The actor’s arrest drew support from various political figures and other celebrities. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader KTR and others condemned the arrest, calling it unjust.

Bollywood actors like Rashmika Mandanna and Varun Dhawan have also expressed their solidarity with Allu Arjun during this difficult time.

During an earlier press conference, Allu Arjun shared his emotional reaction to the tragic incident. “The incident that happened at Sandhya theater is very unfortunate… I am shocked. It took me hours to process it and respond to the incident. I couldn’t psychologically process it. It took me about 10 hours. We all stopped when we heard the news,” remarked the actor, expressing his deep grief at the loss of life and the unfortunate turn of events. (YEAR)
