Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has found himself at the center of controversy following allegations that he disrespected Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy during the Gaddar Film Awards ceremony. The incident took place on June 14, when Allu Arjun was honored with the Best Actor award at the state-sponsored event organized by the Telangana government.
The controversy began after a video went viral on social media, showing Allu Arjun accepting the award from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy but allegedly failing to acknowledge him properly. In the widely circulated clip, the actor is seen shaking hands with the Chief Minister but walking away without making eye contact. He then proceeds to recite a famous dialogue from his blockbuster film Pushpa — “Thaggede Le” — without offering a word of thanks to the Chief Minister or the government.

While the moment may have seemed casual to some, many on social media interpreted the actor’s actions as a deliberate snub to the Chief Minister. The video was initially shared by some of Allu Arjun’s own fans, celebrating his signature style. However, the tone quickly shifted as political supporters of Revanth Reddy began criticizing the actor for what they called “disrespectful behavior.”
As the debate intensified online, a longer version of the video began circulating, showing the full sequence of the interaction between Allu Arjun and the Chief Minister. Some viewers argued that the clip had been taken out of context and that the actor had not intentionally ignored Revanth Reddy.
Despite the divided opinions, the incident has sparked a heated conversation on social media about celebrity conduct, political protocol, and the fine line between performance and public responsibility.
