Allu Arjun seems to have taken it upon himself to act as a big guy, or rather, a ‘peddamanishi’. Sometime back, we have written about how Bunny has changed and how he is no longer the affable boy next door. The normally sensible guy has been getting into controversies lately with this new attitude.
You may have already ready about his ‘Cheppanu Brother’ controversy, which trended nationwide on social media. The backlash from Pawan Kalyan’s fans has been so intense that Bunny was forced to speak about it today at the audio launch of Niharika Konidela’s ‘Oka Manasu’.
And instead of trying to placate the feelings of fans, Allu Arjun decided to take a mega class. He reprimanded them for their behaviour, gave them instructions to follow and told them how the entire family was forced to lower its head in shame because of their actions!
“Don’t do this! Don’t do that! We are hurt! I am hurt! I decided to tackle the problem! I know when to speak out!” .. These are the kinds of sentences Bunny used in his speech and the reaction from fans has once again been mixed.
In fact, instead of placating their feelings, Bunny only managed to incite Pawan’s fans. A fistfight broke out between Allu Arjun fans and Pawan Kalyan fans at the very venue while Bunny was speaking. On condition of anonymity, a senior fan had this to say. “After all the controversy his remarks caused, Bunny should have used a conciliatory tone. Some of the points he raised may be valid. But the tone he used and the body language suggested arrogance rather than remorse”, said the fan.
But a few other fans supported Bunny, stating that he spoke from his heart and underlined the problem being faced by other heroes because of the Pawan Kalyan chanting issue. What do you think of this mixed response? Please do add your thoughts via comments below
