At the time of the attack, Allu Arjun was not there at his home. After the attack, Allu Arjun and his wife, Sneha Reddy's children, Allu Arha and Allu Ayaan, were seen leaving the house.

Post the incident, Allu Aravind said, "Everyone has seen what happened at our house today. But, it is time for us to act accordingly. I don't see this as the right time to react to anything. The police have arrested the vandalisers and filed a case against them. The police personnel are deployed near my house to take away anybody who comes here to create a ruckus. No one should encourage such incidents. It is time to practice restraint. The law will take its course."
