Kishan Reddy wrote, “The arrest of Shri Allu Arjun is irresponsible & unwarranted. The intent behind this arrest seems motivated as the organizers of the show claim to have informed the concerned authorities in advance. Moreover the onus and responsibility of law & order lies with the police authorities and the arrest clearly intends to target an individual. The arrest also reminds us the targeting and witch-hunting of cine artists in the state. I condemn the arrest and high-handedness of the administration.”

One person is not responsible for this.”

In big relief, the Pushpa 2 star has been granted bail by the High Court. 

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and current President of YSR Congress Party penned a note in support of Allu Arjun. Condemning the Pushpa 2 actor's arrest he wrote, "The loss of a woman's life in the stampede at the Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad is incomparable to the family. At the same time, 
@alluarjun expressed his sorrow over this and acted responsibly, saying that he would stand by the family. But how far is it fair to hold him directly responsible for this incident? Even though he was not involved in the stampede, it is not acceptable to frame criminal cases against Arjun and arrest him. I strongly condemn the arrest of Allu Arjun."
