Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai commented on the Sandhya Theatre stampede issue, saying that Revanth Reddy seems to be trying to outshine Allu Arjun in Telangana. He claimed that Reddy wants to show he is more important than the famous actor. Annamalai pointed out that some of the people who created chaos and threw stones at Allu Arjun’s house were from Reddy`s constituency. He argued that this was politically motivated. He further stated that victimizing or bullying someone is wrong. He added that Allu Arjun had no intention of causing harm, and while the incident should not have happened, it was unfair to target him for it.
