Earlier, TellyChakkar spoke exclusively to Pushpa 2 choreographer Urvashi Apsara after Allu Arjun's arrest.
Post Allu Arjun's arrest, following the stampede outside a theatre leading to the death of a lady and hospitalization of her child under critical condition, TellyChakkar spoke exclusively to exhibitor and renowned trade expert Akshaye Rathi on the impact it could have on the box office collection of Pushpa 2. He said, “This is a very unfortunate incident. A life has been lost. Let's not dilute it by talking about business. See, Pushpa 2 was already on its way to becoming one of the most historic movies of Indian cinema at the box office, and I don't see this stopping it from its blockbuster journey. However, what's sad is that an accident is being treated like murder. We talk about VIP culture and how it should be done away with, yet here we are, hellbent on making Allu Arjun the poster child for this incident solely because of his VIP status. He's being treated as a murderer and an unfortunate accident, caused by a crowd, is being looked at as homicide. Respecting the departed needs to be paramount here, but anything but that is being done.”
