Rajat Sharma, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV.
Sometimes being a superstar also becomes expensive. Allu Arjun is a new example of this. Superstars of southern films have become a pawn in Telangana politics. On Sunday, suddenly some people entered his house, vandalized it, threw tomatoes, raised slogans and threatened him. Panicked, Allu Arjun’s family members put his two small children in the car and took them out through the back door. Allu Arjun, the superhit character of ‘Pushpa-2’ whom everyone is scared of on screen, is in real life scared about the safety of his children. He is not in politics. Don’t support any political party, but BRS and Congress are at loggerheads over Allu Arjun, blaming each other for the attack on his house. Police arrested 6 protesters, but surprisingly they got bail immediately. That is why there was a suspicion that someone or the other was behind the attackers.
BRS alleged that those who attacked Allu Arjun’s house were Congress workers, close to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. On the other hand, Congress leaders alleged that this was all a ploy by BRS. He claims that the attack on Allu Arjun’s house was carried out by BRS leaders and the blame was placed on Congress. The government is of Congress. Police is investigating the case. But the question is who is after Allu Arjun? Who is the one who has enmity with Allu Arjun? The death of a woman in the stampede that took place during the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2’ is not a political issue. This matter is in court. The husband of the woman who died said that Allu Arjun was not at fault in that accident. Then why is this kind of politics happening regarding Allu Arjun? Who is he who is targeting Allu Arjun? Who are the vandals at Allu Arjun’s house?
BRS alleged that those who attacked Allu Arjun’s house were Congressmen, close to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. BJP leaders also supported the claims of BRS, but Congress claimed that those who attacked Allu Arjun’s house are associated with Osmania University Joint Action Committee, they are related to BRS. Police said that all the six accused who created the ruckus are students of Osmania University, all of them are associated with the Joint Action Committee of the university. Someone is its president, someone is its vice president and someone is its spokesperson. But the police did not tell that in the case of creating ruckus outside Allu Arjun’s house, accused number one Reddy Srinivas is a resident of Revanth Reddy’s constituency in Vikarabad district. BRS leaders say that Reddy Srinivas had contested the election of District Panchayat member in 2019 on Congress ticket. Reddy Srinivas posted a video on December 4, in which he is thanking the party leaders for being made the District President of Youth Congress. In response, Congress leaders and BRS leader K. Reddy Srinivas’s photo with T. Rama Rao was uploaded on social media. In this photo, Reddy Srinivas is wearing BRS’s gamchha.
Akbaruddin Owaisi and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made statements against Allu Arjun in the Assembly. Akbaruddin Owaisi alleged that Allu Arjun was informed about the woman’s death in the stampede, so he did not come out of the cinema hall and even said that now the picture will be an even bigger hit. Allu Arjun immediately denied the allegation and called it an attempt at character assassination. People close to CM Revanth Reddy said that the CM has conveyed the message of providing lifelong support to the victim’s family to Allu Arjun. Under this, ‘Shri Teja Trust’ will be established by creating a fund of Rs 2 crore. In this, Allu Arjun will contribute Rs 1 crore, director Sukumar will contribute Rs 50 lakh and producer Maithri Movies will contribute Rs 50 lakh. With the help of the Trust, the victim’s family will be provided better medical care and education.
At present Allu Arjun is the biggest superstar of South. His film ‘Pushpa 2’ broke all records by doing business of more than Rs 1.5 thousand crores. Who would take enmity with such a superstar? Who will get their house attacked? This is a mystery but one thing is clear that Allu Arjun was implicated in this matter with complete planning. It was explained to him that being a hero on screen is one thing, but in real life a hero can be made a zero.
Understand the chronology of this entire matter. The death that occurred at the time of the film’s premiere was tragic and unfortunate, but Allu Arjun had no direct involvement in it. Yet, after a week of the incident, Hyderabad Police suddenly became active, Allu Arjun was arrested, the Lower Court sent him to jail for 14 days, even after getting bail from the High Court, Allu Arjun was kept in jail overnight. That is why it is clear that this matter is not as straightforward as it appears. The way Akbaruddin Owaisi accused Allu Arjun of murdering a woman in the assembly, the way CM Revanth Reddy targeted Allu Arjun, further increased this suspicion. And then Allu Arjun’s house was attacked, politics took place regarding this also. It becomes clear from this that there is someone who is settling an old score with Allu Arjun.
The question is why did Revanth Reddy openly speak against Allu Arjun? Why was there a criminal case against Allu Arjun? Who got his house attacked? In all these matters, fingers are pointing towards Revanth Reddy. No one knows what is Revanth Reddy’s resentment towards Allu Arjun, but now it seems that after the formation of the trust, the matter will be resolved and Allu Arjun’s problems will be reduced. But the question will remain whether the Chief Minister is really after the superstar? Is there some underlying enmity behind this? Or an old feud? There is something that is being hidden. There is something behind the scenes. (Rajat Sharma)
