Viral Video Sparks Controversy
Allu Arjun attended Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding reception in Hyderabad and there was one video that caught everyone’s eye.
Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda held a reception for their film industry friends in Hyderabad earlier this month after their February wedding in Udaipur. Allu Arjun was one of the guests at the wedding reception that saw numerous others in attendance. After a video of his bouncers shoving Jr NTR’s body double, Eshwar Harris, circulated online, a clarification has now been offered.
Eshwar Harris Clarifies the Incident
A few days after the moment went viral, Eshwar took to his Instagram to offer an explanation. He said, “A lot of people are asking me if it’s me with Allu Arjun in this video. Yes, that’s me. What happened was that we were going in at the same time Allu Arjun was coming in. When he was approaching the stage to click pictures, his bouncers thought I was approaching Allu Arjun to click pictures. Or they thought I would block the camera, so they stopped me.”
He also brushed it off as something that was blown out of proportion, adding, “It’s a minuscule thing that’s been zoomed in and out of and turned into something big. Although I must thank everybody for making it viral and giving me that reach.” For the unversed, Eshwar worked as Jr NTR’s body double for a few scenes in RRR and some advertisements. He turned down the offer to work on War 2 due to low remuneration.
Body Double’s Perspective on the Event
Eshwar also took to Instagram to share moments from the Virosh reception and post throwback pictures to showcase his long association with Vijay and his brother, Anand Deverakonda.
Eshwar Harris has taken the incident in stride, viewing the viral attention as a positive boost. The minor scuffle highlights the intensity surrounding celebrity events and the security measures in place.
