Allu Arjun on Pawan Kalyan Rift Rumors
"Allu Arjun Addresses Rumored Rift with Uncle Pawan Kalyan Amid Pushpa 2 Promotions"
For some time now, rumors of a rift between South superstar Allu Arjun and his uncle, Pawan Kalyan, have been circulating. Amid this, an old video of Allu Arjun praising his uncle is going viral on social media.
In an episode of Unstoppable with NBK Season 4, Allu Arjun was shown a picture of Pawan Kalyan on the screen. Reacting to it, Allu Arjun said, “Respect, Kalyan Garu. I admire his courage. When I see him live, I am inspired by his bravery. He is one of the most fearless individuals I know.”
Speculation about tension between the two began after the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections. Pawan Kalyan, currently the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, contested against Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy in the assembly elections. Before the elections, Allu Arjun had visited Nandyal to support YSR Congress MLA Silpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, sparking rumors of a family rift.
Pushpa 2 Producers Deny Rift Rumors
At a recent press meet in Hyderabad, Pushpa 2 producers Naveen Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar addressed these speculations. When asked if a divided fanbase might affect the film’s success, they clarified, “There might have been minor incidents during the elections, but beyond politics, fans from all sides will support the film. There is no rift within the family. Allu Arjun does not actively support any political party.”
Pushpa 2: Trailer and Release
The highly anticipated Pushpa 2 trailer will be launched on November 17 at Gandhi Maidan in Patna with grand preparations. Allu Arjun himself will unveil the trailer, accompanied by the film’s leading lady, Rashmika Mandanna. Given the success of Pushpa: The Rise in Bihar, especially the popularity of the Srivalli song, the makers decided to launch the trailer in Bihar. The film is slated for release on December 5.
