<p>This comes a day after Arjun said that he had left Sandhya Theatre as soon as he learned “about the problem outside.”</p>
<p>On Sunday, police released footage with timestamps indicating that the actor remained in the theatre until nearly midnight, alleging that he ignored police requests to leave.</p>
