Allu Arjun is making headlines on Friday not for his latest offering and mega-blockbuster film, Pushpa 2: The Rule, but in connection to an incident which took life of a 39-year-old woman during the premiere night of his film. Allu Arjun was arrested by Hyderabad Police in relation to the case and was questioned at the Chikkadpally Police Station. Fans of the actor were in deep shock and defended him on social media against the arrest. Now, Bollywood star Varun Dhawan has also come out in support of the South star and said that it is not correct to blame just one person.
Varun Dhawan was present at a promotional event in Jaipur for his upcoming film where he was asked about the hot topic of the day. ''The actor cannot take the sole responsibility of the safety protocols. You can only tell the people around you...The incident was tragic. I express my condolences but at the same time, you cannot blame only one person for this,'' he said.
