Arya: 40% Kashi Sadhus Are Criminals
Tollywood hero Arya has made sensational remarks, alleging that 40% of the sadhus in Kashi are criminals. These controversial comments, which stem from his experiences during the shooting of his film ‘Naan Kadavul’ (Nene Devudni) and police warnings received during the Kumbh Mela, have become a widely discussed topic.
Arya, a versatile actor known for roles as both hero and villain in Tamil and Telugu films, is soon to be seen in ‘Mr. X’. He made these allegations during an interview as part of ‘Mr. X’ promotions.
Early in his career, Arya portrayed a sadhu in ‘Naan Kadavul’ (Nene Devudni), a film with many scenes shot in Kashi. Recalling incidents from that period, Arya stated, “We went to Kashi for the shooting of ‘Naan Kadavul’. There are sadhus there. 60 percent are good, genuine sadhus. But 40 percent are fake sadhus. They are all criminals. These fake swamis don’t reveal their real names; even if asked, they only say ‘Swami’. They don’t possess Aadhaar cards, ration cards, or voter IDs. They hide there for some time and then disappear.”
Filming, Police Warnings Sparked Allegations
Arya further claimed that similar individuals are present at the Kumbh Mela. “When we went for the Kumbh Mela shoot, the police warned us. They told us that some people carry guns and that criminals roam around disguised as sadhus,” he elaborated.
Consequently, Arya’s comments have rapidly gained traction, drawing mixed reactions with many criticizing them while others show support. These remarks have ignited a significant discussion in Tollywood, and we invite your opinion on the matter. Stay tuned for more updates.
Looking Ahead
Arya’s ‘Naan Kadavul’ experience has ignited a vital, uncomfortable debate. Will these bold allegations spark genuine introspection and reform within sacred spaces, or merely become another fleeting controversy? Our film fraternity watches keenly. Accountability often begins with such raw honesty. The discussion has just begun.
