Allu Arjun's team and PR wing seem to have skillfully handled the national media ever since his arrest issue came to light and the subsequent incidents unfolded.
Prominent figures like Arnab Goswami, Navika Kumar, and other popular national-level media personalities, along with national channels, have extended support to Allu Arjun while questioning and criticizing the Telangana Government and State Police.
While this maneuvering was effective on the national stage, on the home front, Allu Arjun received limited support from the regional media, with a significant portion aligning with the Telangana government.
With the support from national media, Allu Arjun's image remained largely intact at the national level.
Adding to this, a controversy erupted when Commissioner of Police CV Anand was caught on video stating that the national media should be ashamed as it had "completely sold out."
This remark angered national media personalities, who then doubled up their support for Allu Arjun, despite the police official issuing an apology later.
