During his campaign speech on Sunday evening, former Minister and BRS leader KT Rama Rao remarked that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy locks up cinema people in jail at other times but panders to them for votes during elections. This was an indirect allusion to the arrest of Allu Arjun in the Sandhya Theatre Stampede case in December 2024.
When Bunny was arrested by the Hyderabad police in the aftermath of the stampede, KTR criticized the government, saying that the Pushpa 2 actor was not directly responsible for the death of the woman. He also described the Icon Star as a National Award-winning star.
The Jubilee Hills polls have witnessed a contest between the BRS and the Congress party for the votes of cinema workers living in the constituency. About 25,000 votes are up for grabs. Recently, in the presence of Dil Raju, Revanth Reddy made certain promises to cine workers.
