Pawan Kalyan's indirect criticism of Allu Arjun's Pushpa, suggesting that heroes these days are portraying smugglers, hasn’t been well received by many.
First of all, people in the cinema industry should avoid commenting on film content, as they often forget that they, too, have been part of such films.
Many on social media are pointing out Pawan Kalyan's own films where he endorsed cheap liquor in Gudumba Shankar. Some also mention his other films where he played irresponsible youngster and unidealistic characters.
But the past is the past. What about the present? Pawan Kalyan is currently acting in the film OG, where he is depicted chopping people mercilessly, drenching his sword in blood.
Such violent portrayals as a protagonist are also questionable, especially since he now holds a responsible position as Deputy Chief Minister.
How will he justify portraying such roles when they contradict the principles of law and order in real life?
If it has to be compared, based on Pawan's statement, the bloodshed and psychopathic violence shown in 'OG' teaser seems to be more dangerous than that of smuggler's story 'Pushpa'.
Pawan Kalyan’s statements seem to reveal his personal animosity towards Allu Arjun.
If there is anyone wishing for 'Pushpa: The Rule' to flop, it appears to be Pawan Kalyan and some members of the rest of the Mega family. This reflects a certain level of intolerance.
Many in the Mega family seem unable to accept Allu Arjun's rise and success on a pan-India level, which is seen as surpassing them.
