Kangana Ranaut REACTS to Allu Arjun’s arrest in stampede case: “Everybody should have accountability”

Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut expressed her thoughts on Pushpa 2: The Rule star Allu Arjun’s recent arrest in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. Speaking to Aaj Tak, Ranaut described the incident as “very unfortunate” and highlighted the importance of accountability in such situations.

Allu Arjun’s Arrest and Interim Bail Allu Arjun was arrested on Friday morning in Hyderabad, following a stampede at Sandhya Theatre that led to the tragic death of a woman named Revathi. The incident occurred during a surprise visit by the actor to the theatre, where incomplete exit arrangements reportedly caused chaos. Revathi’s son remains in critical condition due to injuries sustained during the stampede.

The Hyderabad court remanded Arjun to 14-day judicial custody. However, the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail later in the day. Despite the bail order, Arjun had to spend the night in jail due to procedural delays in processing the release. Kangana Ranaut Calls for Accountability Kangana Ranaut, who is also a Member of Parliament from Mandi, addressed the incident in an interview with Aaj Tak. She stated, “It is very unfortunate. I am a very big supporter of Allu Arjun ji. Having said that, you have to set an example. He has got the bail. But just because we are high-profile people, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have any consequences.”

Ranaut further stressed the value of human life, saying, “People’s lives are very precious, be it smoking ads or a crowded theatre. I think they (the Pushpa 2 team) were present at the event. Everybody should have accountability.”

The incident unfolded just days after the release of Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna. The film hit cinemas on December 5 and has been garnering significant attention.
