Says it is absurd that the actor's legal team did not permit him to visit Sri Tej, who is undergoing treatment in the hospital

Hyderabad: After slamming Allu Arjun‘s ‘Pushpa 2’ movie on Saturday, Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Sunday demanded that the actor tender an apology to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for stating that his image was being damaged. Several other Congress leaders too came out attacking the actor.

Finding fault with the actor for countering the Chief Minister’s remarks made in the Assembly, the Minister said when the issue was being discussed in the House, the actor was claiming that his image was being damaged. “It is absurd that the actor’s legal team did not permit him to visit Sri Tej, who is undergoing treatment in the hospital,” Venkat Reddy said.

Echoing a similar opinion, Government Whip Aadi Srinivas also raised objections over Allu Arjun’s comments and alleged that the actor had no remorse. The Chief Minister had responded to an MLA’s query in the Assembly over the Sandhya theatre incident. Despite police informing the actor that a woman had died in the stampede, he continued to watch the movie, the Government Whip said.

“Is your name and fame important than a woman’s life and a child’s health?” Srinivas asked. Congress MP from Bhongir C Kiran Kumar Reddy said the actor was more concerned about the movie collections than people’s lives. During the press meet, the actor read a script written by his legal team and did not speak like a real hero, he said.
