A string of controversial videos with baseless claims and provocative thumbnails targeting Allu Arjun and his family has sparked intense outrage among his fanbase.

As Allu Arjun prepares for the highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2 this December, a controversy has erupted involving his fans. Reports suggest that a group of his supporters recently stormed a YouTube channel’s office, protesting against what they claimed were misleading videos targeting the actor and his wife. The fans demanded the immediate removal of the contentious content, expressing their frustration over the matter.

A series of controversial videos featuring unfounded allegations and inflammatory thumbnails about Allu Arjun and his family has triggered a strong backlash from his fans. One particularly provocative thumbnail falsely showed the actor in a hospital bed, suggesting he was in critical condition.

Outraged by these claims, the All India Allu Arjun Fans & Welfare Association took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the channel for its sensationalism and wrote, "We have been following RED TV closely for the past few months and monitoring the way they are running a negative campaign against @alluarjun garu. Recently, they crossed all boundaries by involving his wife Sneha Reddy garu, and his children, and even posting thumbnails suggesting harm to Allu Arjun garu. To make social media a safe place, we visited their office to request, demand, and warn them to delete all these videos and stop such actions immediately. LET'S MAKE SOCIAL MEDIA A SAFE PLACE. #MakeSocialMediaSafePlace"

During the protest, Allu Arjun's fans confronted the staff of Red TV, demanding accountability for the offensive content. In response, the channel's employees publicly apologized on camera, acknowledging that the controversial thumbnails were a mistake. They expressed regret to both Allu Arjun and his fans, assuring them that steps would be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Helmed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2 is set for a grand worldwide release on December 5, 2024. Featuring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, the sequel delves deeper into Pushpa Raj's relentless battle to dominate the red sanders smuggling empire. The highly anticipated trailer will premiere on November 17, 2024, during a spectacular event in Patna.
