Pawan Kalyan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and actor, visited the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Kadapa, where he discussed a recent attack on a Mandal Parishad Development Officer. In a video circulated online, he appeared visibly frustrated when the media or fans raised topics related to cinema, including the legal issues involving his nephew Allu Arjun.
Pawan was responding to questions from the press regarding the reported attack in Kadapa. However, when a journalist asked about Arjun, his tone shifted noticeably, he replied, "It’s not relevant. Here I am talking about people dying, and you’re asking about cinema. Have a bigger heart, please."
As the press continued to press for questions about the "Pushpa" star due to his family ties with Allu Arjun, Pawan, who was preparing to leave, grew increasingly frustrated, and replied, "Let your debate go beyond cinema; I’m being candid. Let’s talk about the atrocities happening in our state. Cinema is such a small thing."
To the public's knowledge, Pawan Kalyan has not met his nephew, Allu Arjun, since the issue occurred.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 following a stampede-like incident during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, which resulted in the death of a woman and left a young boy critically injured. Arjun was granted interim bail by the High Court and is currently out on bail.
While Pawan Kalyan was discussing the attack with the press, a crowd of fans gathered at the scene. As they started chanting "OG" repeatedly, Pawan, visibly irritated, interrupted them and waved his finger in annoyance. He said, "What is wrong with you people? Do you not know what slogan to give where? Move aside"

Pawan Kalyan had approved several film projects before launching his campaign for the Andhra Pradesh elections, but he has yet to complete them. Since becoming the Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh, his schedule has become even more hectic, with his responsibilities taking him to rural areas across the state.
Recently, he filmed several scenes for the historical action-adventure Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna. He is also collaborating with Saaho-director Sujeeth on the upcoming project They Call Him OG. Additionally, he has agreed to star in Harish Shankar’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh, the Telugu remake of Theri.
