However, a short clip from the same speech has now gone viral, drawing attention away from his main message. In the clip, Allu Arjun is heard saying, "Go wait in front of the house of the girl you like instead."
Internet reacts
The comment did not sit well with many on social media who felt that it could be misconstrued. Several accused the actor of promoting behaviour that could be seen as inappropriate or even unsafe.
Several people shared their concern on X (formerly Twitter).
A user wrote, “Truly zero awareness.” Another one added, “Allu Arjun should be careful about what he advises his fans.”
Someone said, “Allu Arjun, you're promoting the romanticization of behavior that can constitute harassment and stalking of a woman. Utterly shameful.”
A person asked, “Your rogue fans will actually do it. Will you take responsibility for their actions?”
Allu Arjun’s upcoming projects
On the professional front, Allu Arjun was last seen in Pushpa 2: The Rule, the sequel to the blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise. Packed with action, drama, and his signature swag, the film broke many box office records.
He will be next seen in Raaka which is being directed by Atlee and co-star Deepika Padukone.
