AP Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan made striking remarks during a media interaction on Monday regarding the controversy involving Allu Arjun. Addressing the issue, Pawan stated that he believed what was being portrayed as a serious matter had been exaggerated.

Pawan also commented on the increase in benefit shows and ticket prices, emphasizing that fans' admiration for film heroes often amplifies their actions.

Discussing the incident involving Allu Arjun, Pawan reflected on his experiences in public spaces and the role of law enforcement. "I remember when I stopped going to theaters due to such issues.In Vizianagaram, I was also advised to leave early due to security concerns. Chiranjeevi garu used to go to theaters wearing a mask to avoid attention. These incidents aren't new," he said.

Pawan expressed his thoughts on the tragedy linked to the incident, saying, "The death of Revathi in this episode deeply disturbed me. It feels as though a minor issue was unnecessarily escalated. It would have been better if someone from Allu Arjun’s team had visited the victims' families to express condolences. Such actions can ease tensions and show accountability."
