Allu Arjun once sparked controversy with his remark "cheppanu brother" when Pawan Kalyan fans urged him to praise Pawan during the 'Sarrainodu' function.
Later, he provided a detailed explanation at the 'Oka Manasu' pre-release event, where he sounded mature and balanced.
He also addressed how fans were damaging their family's image by unnecessarily shouting "Jai Pawan Kalyan" at every event.
In the 2024 election campaign, Bunny went to Nandyal to support his friend, who was contesting as an MLA from the YCP.
In response, Nagababu made negative comments about Allu Arjun on Twitter but later deleted the tweet, fearing backlash.
Nagababu is the person who received huge support from Bunny earlier.
Industry sources say that Bunny used to include Nagababu as one of the co-producers in some of his films to help him earn significant amounts. Therefore, Nagababu has no moral right to publicly criticize or insult Allu Arjun.
Pawan Kalyan also erred in this regard after gaining power and becoming the Deputy Chief Minister.
He criticized current heroes for playing roles of smugglers and thieves, which he deemed inappropriate.
In fact many understood that he is referring to 'Pushpa'. However, he himself has portrayed violence on screen, which is also anti-social, making his criticism seem hypocritical.
Saidharam Tej unfollowed Allu Arjun on social media. Niharika did not approach Allu Arjun for support during the 'Committee Kurrollu' release, though she sought help from every other mega hero and others.
In this entire scenario, Chiranjeevi's silence is also something that is not commendable.
After all this, Allu Arjun spoke yesterday at the 'Maruthi Nagar Subrahmanyam' event, stating that he stands by himself and supports anyone he believes in as a friend. This was, in fact, a reply to Nagababu and others.
Allu Arjun displayed strong self-confidence and self-respect, not arrogance. Had he said 'sorry' or tried to smooth over the situation, he would have gotten undermined. He certainly stood strong with self respect with yesterday's speech.
