The 42 Rules Controversy
After a brand strategist went on a podcast and claimed that Allu Arjun’s team had 42 rules for her, the actor initiated legal action for ‘defamation’.
Allu Arjun’s Legal Response
“She holds a responsible position in a reputed organization, and I refuse to let her career be jeopardized due to online bullying. The discussion was factual and professional, not defamatory. But protecting a real person will always take priority over engaging with power that refuses accountability. Allu Arjun & his team are sheer losers, & just power hungry,” added the podcaster.
In another note, she claimed that Arjun and his team were ‘attacking’ her, writing, “A women can’t live in peace & make content on the internet!! Shocking Allu Arjun PR attacking me. Well abusing me saying negative things about me can never pull me down. Keep goings bots.” She also wrote, “I finally understand what happens when people speak the truth,” in another note, asking people from the Telugu film industry to speak up.
