Hyderabad (Telangana):
Actor Allu Arjun, who was released on interim bail from Chanchalguda Central Jail on Saturday, visited superstar Chiranjeevi’s residence in Hyderabad with his family on Sunday.
The Pushpa 2 actor was granted bail after furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000. His release was supported by family members and film industry colleagues, many of whom gathered at his Jubilee Hills residence in Hyderabad.
In the visuals captured by the paparazzi, Allu is seen leaving Chiranjeevi’s residence in his car after the meeting.
Allu Arjun was arrested on Friday in connection with the death of a woman during the screening of his latest film last week. He was released on Saturday morning on the orders of Telangana High Court.
On Saturday, fellow actors Rana Daggubati and Naga Chaitanya met Allu Arjun and welcomed him with a warm hug to show their support. Chiranjeevi’s wife Surekha also went to Allu Arjun’s Jubilee Hills residence to meet her nephew.
Actor Vijay Deverakonda and Pushpa 2: The Rule director Sukumar were seen chatting and hugging outside the actor’s residence.
After being released from jail, Allu Arjun addressed the media saying, “I thank everyone for the love and support. I want to thank all my fans. There is no need to worry. I am fine. “I am a law abiding citizen.” And I will cooperate. I would like to once again express my condolences to the family. It was an unfortunate incident.
Allu Arjun’s arrest occurred on December 4 during a chaotic scene at Sandhya Theatre, where the actor had attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule. A huge crowd gathered to get a glimpse of the star. The situation worsened when Allu Arjun waved to fans from the sunroof of his vehicle.
Police allege that the action led to chaos, resulting in the death of the woman, Revathi, while her son was injured.
Initially, after the tragic incident, Allu Arjun was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a lower court in Telangana. His legal team challenged the decision in the Telangana High Court, which granted interim bail to the actor.
However, Allu Arjun had to spend the night in jail before being released this morning.
Allu Arjun’s latest release, Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, is currently breaking box office records.
