Allu Aravind is presenting Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi's Thandel which is releasing on 7 Feb 2025. The film's pre release event was held yesterday and at the event , Allu Aravind made controversial comments targeting Dil Raju and Ram Charan's Game Changer and it triggered fan wars between mega fans and Allu Arjun fans.
Allu Aravind said “Dil Raju made history recently. One movie of his was like this (gestures down, hinting at Game Changer), while another movie was like this (gestures up, hinting at Sankranthi Vastunam). He got raided by Income Tax (department). A lot happened in a week,” he said, while smiling.
Mega Fans reacted angrily in the following way.
The internet wasn't impressed by Aravind's dig at Dil Raju. An X user even dug out an old clip of Aravind's son and actor Allu Arjun confessing in Telugu, “I was once rejoicing when a film failed.” Another user commented on that clip, “Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” “They are trolling dil raju now? hahahah,” said another. “@AlwaysRamCharan do you understand how they are enjoying your movie failures,” read a third comment.
Allu Arjun's fans supported
Many defended Allu Aravind too. A user argued, “Not a single appreciation tweet by any megays for Pushpa 2 success but Allu Arjun and his father should always support megays. What stupid logic?” Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, emerged as the biggest Indian hit domestically after it released last year. Meanwhile, Game Changer, which released over a month after Pushpa 2, tanked at the box office eventually.
