Legal Action Threatened by Allu Arjun's Attorney

Following the arrest, the actor's attorney, Ashok Reddy, expressed his dissatisfaction with the prolonged delay in his client's release, despite the High Court's ruling. He described the situation as an "illegal detention" and pledged to take further legal measures. “They received an order copy from the High Court but despite that, they didn't release the accused. They will have to answer... as of now, he has been released,” Reddy remarked.

Allu Arjun, who had been held at Chanchalguda Central Jail, was released on a personal bond of ₹50,000. He exited the facility on Saturday morning and was met with an emotional reunion with his family at their residence in Jubilee Hills.

The actor's release was accompanied by increased security measures, as fans and media congregated outside the correctional facility. Upon his release, Allu Arjun expressed gratitude to his supporters and fans for their steadfast affection. “I appreciate everyone for their love and support. I want to extend my thanks to all my fans. There is no cause for concern. I am well. I am a law-abiding citizen and will fully cooperate. I would also like to reiterate my condolences to the family. It was a tragic incident,” the actor remarked.

He further underscored the accidental nature of the event, reiterating his sympathy for the grieving family. “I am a law-abiding citizen; there is nothing to worry about, all is well... my condolences to the family... it was an accident, nothing of this sort has occurred before, and I have provided all necessary support to her family... thank you to all of you,” he stated.

Before his arrest, Allu Arjun had conveyed his shock and sorrow regarding the incident, mentioning that it took him several hours to come to terms with the tragedy.

“The occurrence at the Sandhya theatre is deeply unfortunate... I am in shock. It took me hours to process and respond to the situation. I found it difficult to mentally comprehend it. It took me approximately 10 hours. We were all in disbelief when we received the news,” he shared during the success meeting of Pushpa 2.
