Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan extended his support to actor Allu Arjun following news of his arrest by the Hyderabad Police. The Pushpa actor was taken into custody by the police on the morning of December 13 in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. A woman died in a tragic incident that took place during the special screening of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad.
Reacting to Arjun's arrest, Varun said, "Everything an actor cannot take on his own. The incident that happened is very painful, and I extend my condolences, but at the same time, I think the blame is not only on one person."
Varun Dhawan, currently on a promotional tour, visited the Pink City, Jaipur, to promote his upcoming film Baby John. While most celebrities refrain from reacting to sensitive and controversial issues, Varun’s gesture has garnered praise from netizens, especially from Allu Arjun fans.
Produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee and Jyoti Deshpande, Baby John is a big-ticket family entertainer starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav and is set to hit theaters on December 25, 2024.
