Hyderabad: BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Wednesday came out in support of Pushpa 2 star Allu Arjun and suggested that some people are trying to tarnish the image of Telugu actor.
Although the specifics of Thakur's statement are unclear, it's likely a response to the ongoing tensions between the Congress government in Telangana and the BJP.
"If you look at the contribution of Telugu actors in the film industry, they have put the film and Indian cinema on the global map. But some people are trying to pull them down on floor map," Anurag Thakur told ANI.
The BJP leader was reacting to actions of the Telangana police against actor Allu Arjun after a stampede incident at a theatre during premiere of his film Pushpa 2.
"If you look at the last few years, Allu Arjun got the National Award in Narendra Modi's government, Chiranjeevi got the Lifetime Achievement Award and their contribution has been appreciated by the whole country and the world. On the other hand, look at the films, whether it is RR, Pushpa, KGF, Baahubali all of them have brought fame to Indian cinema. I think instead of creating controversy, efforts should be made to have a dialogue, take care of safety and not do politics," he added.
Anurag Thakur said that the statements of Congress leaders and MLAs in the state put question marks on the intention of the state government.
