Law is equal for all, says Pawan Kalyan on Allu Arjun’s arrest

Amaravati, Dec 30: Law is equal for all, said Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Monday in his first reaction to the stampede at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre which claimed the life of a woman during the premier show of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, and the subsequent arrest of actor Allu Arjun.
The actor-politician feels that police can’t be blamed as they act keeping safety and security in mind.
In an informal chat with reporters, the Jana Sena leader said that the theatre staff should have informed Allu Arjun in advance about the situation.
Pawan Kalyan was also of the opinion that if somebody from Allu Arjun’s side had reached out to the family of the victim immediately, this could have eased the tension and helped resolve the issue.
This was the first reaction of Pawan Kalyan to the December 4 incident that had led to the death of a woman and left her son critically injured.
The police had booked the theatre management, Allu Arjun and his team for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
The actor was arrested on December 13 and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by a court. The Telangana High Court granted him interim bail the same day.
Allu Arjun is son of producer Allu Arvind, brother-in-law of Pawan Kalyan’s elder brother megastar Chiranjeevi.
Pawan Kalyan mentioned that in the past, even Chiranjeevi used to attend movie screenings with his fans, but he often wore a mask to avoid creating a stir.
Defending Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on the issue, Pawan Kalyan described him as a leader who has risen from humble beginnings.
Commenting on Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, Pawan said, “Revanth Reddy is a great leader. He came up from a humble beginning. He didn’t do like YSRCP. He allowed benefit shows and permitted increases in ticket prices. The collections of movies rose with his cooperation,” he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister said movies like ‘Salar’ and ‘Pushpa 2’ recorded huge collections. “CM Revanth extended full cooperation for ‘Pushpa 2’. Allowing increase in ticket prices also amounts to encouraging the film industry. In this case, I am not fully aware of what happened in front of or behind the scenes,” he added.
The actor-politician also refused to find fault with the police. “Law is equal for all. Police can’t be blamed in such incidents. They act keeping in mind the security. Theatre staff should have informed Allu Arjun in advance about the situation. When he had taken the seat, they should have informed him and escorted him out,” he said.
Pawan Kalyan also feels that it would have been better if someone from Allu Arjun’s side had reached out to the victim’s family. “They should have immediately assured the family that they will stand by them. They should have expressed regret over the incident that happened unintentionally. Somewhere the humane approach was missing in this case,” he said.
He believes that there was public anger after no one consoled the victim’s family. He also hastened to add that Allu Arjun too felt that a life was lost because of him.
“Cinema is a team work. It’s not correct to blame Allu Arjun alone. Revanth Reddy responded as the Chief Minister to the incident. Sometimes decisions are taken depending on the situation,” he added.

Los Angeles, May 29: Legendary action star Jackie Chan, who is reprising his role for “Karate Kid: Legends”, has finally opened up about the the long-gestating “Rush Hour 4”, for which he assured he’s still interested in reuniting with co-star Chris Tucker, more than 25 years after the original.
He told Media: “I don’t know. Ask the director, ask the studio, ask the writer. Hurry up! Otherwise, Chris Tucker and me (will be) 100 years old. We’ll be old men doing Rush Hour.”
In 2017, Chan said he and Tucker had finally agreed on a script for Rush Hour 4, reports deadline.com.
The pair previously starred together in director Brett Ratner’s Rush Hour in 1998, Rush Hour 2 in 2001 and Rush Hour 3 in 2007, which earned a combined $850 million worldwide.
Additionally, Chan said: “I want to do” a followup to Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights, which will be titled Shanghai Dawn.
“The script is still going on,” he said.
Back in 2016, Chan and Owen Wilson were developing another Shanghai Noon sequel for MGM with Jared Hess attached to direct, from a story by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough and a script by Theodore Riley and Aaron Buchsbaum.
“Rush Hour” focusses on two cops from different cultures, who cannot stand each other, team up to save the kidnapped 11-year-old daughter of a diplomat. With time running out, they must nab the criminals and save the girl.
Talking about ‘Karate Kid: Legends,’ Jackie Chan has returned to the Karate Kid franchise after a 15-year hiatus, reprising his iconic role as Mr. Han in the new installment.
Unlike previous chapters set in China, this sequel takes place in the vibrant streets of New York City, where Mr. Han’s path crosses once again with Daniel LaRusso, portrayed once more by Ralph Macchio.

Salman Khan’s security once again breached, woman enters actor’s building

Mumbai, May 22: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s security cover has been breached once again. In a recent incident, a woman, Isha Chhabra, 32, entered the lift area of the superstar’s residence.
However, before she could make her way to the actor’s core residential area, she was intercepted by the security vehicle at Khan’s Galaxy apartment in the Bandra area of Mumbai on Thursday.
Security guards at the Galaxy Apartment nabbed the woman and handed her to the Bandra police, based on the complaint of the security guard, the Bandra police have registered a case against the woman and are investigating the case further.
This comes in the wake of heightened security around the actor owing to threats by the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The actor has been on the radar of Bishnoi, who wants to avenge the alleged hunting of the black buck by the superstar in the 1990s.
Last year, two men on a bike fired multiple shots outside the actor’s residence Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra area of Mumbai. The investigation later revealed that the shooting was aimed at intimidating the actor and was carried out on the instructions of Lawrence Bishnoi. The Bishnoi community considers blackbucks to be sacred, and the actor’s alleged involvement has enraged the gangster, who has revenge on his mind.
Bishnoi, who gained national attention after the murder of Punjabi star Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022, has openly given threats to Salman for his alleged involvement in the black buck hunting case during the shoot of ‘Hum Saath – Saath Hain’.
This year on Eid, the superstar also greeted his fans from behind the bullet-proof installed in his balcony. The actor also spoke with the media earlier this year, and agreed that on some days moving with security does become a problem for him.
The actor also said that he is not afraid of the threats, and has left it to God to look after him and safety.
