Allu Arjun on his controversial Nandyal visit: I'm not affiliated with any political party

Stylish star Allu Arjun recently found himself in the middle of a legal controversy following his visit to Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh during an electoral campaign. The actor, well-known for his Tollywood performances, clarified that his trip was solely in support of his friend, MLA Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, and was not extending any political support.

Allu Arjun's visit sparked a buzz as it coincided with the local elections, leading to accusations of violating the Model Code of Conduct. In response, a case was filed against him, alleging he had participated in a large public gathering without appropriate permissions, a situation complicated by the enforcement of Section 144 during the polls.

To clear the air, Allu Arjun made a public statement emphasizing his neutrality in political matters. "Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm not affiliated with any political party. I remain neutral and support my people, regardless of their political affiliations. This includes my uncle Pawan Kalyan, whom I'll always stand by, along with my friend Ravi and my father-in-law, Mr. Reddy," Allu said in a statement.

The actor stressed his visit was a gesture of friendship, fulfilling a promise to support Mr. Ravi.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Allu Arjun will be next seen in theatres with his highly awaited film, 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' directed by Sukumar. The film will be releasing on August 15, 2024.
