Siddharth’s Controversial Comments on Pushpa 2’s Success Spark Backlash, Watch

Actor Siddharth has sparked controversy with his comments on the success of Pushpa 2: The Rule and the massive fan gatherings during its promotional events. The film, starring Allu Arjun, has been a major hit, particularly in North India. Its trailer launch in Patna, Bihar, attracted massive crowds, boosting the movie’s hype and popularity.

However, Siddharth, who is promoting his upcoming film Miss You, downplayed the significance of these large crowds. He made remarks that many interpreted as belittling Allu Arjun’s stardom. In a viral video, Siddharth said, “In India, a huge crowd doesn’t guarantee quality. Even if you park a JCB (excavator) on the street, people will gather. It’s not that hard to get a crowd in Bihar. If you block a large space and organize something, people will show up.” He also compared the crowd at the Pushpa 2 event to the crowds at political rallies, where people often gather for free food or drink.

Siddharth’s comments were shared by trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan on his social media. The actor’s statement seemed to undermine the significance of large crowds, suggesting they didn’t reflect true fan loyalty or quality.

Reaction from Fans and Critics

Siddharth’s remarks quickly sparked reactions online, especially from Allu Arjun’s fans. Many criticized the actor, accusing him of being envious of Allu Arjun’s stardom. One comment read, “Nobody knows Siddharth in North India. This just sounds like jealousy.” Others pointed out his lack of success in recent years, stating that he hasn’t delivered any major hits recently.

Some also took issue with Siddharth’s earlier behavior, accusing him of being a “fake activist” during the AIADMK regime and remaining silent when the DMK came to power. Critics questioned his character, calling him bitter and hostile.

Pushpa 2’s Massive Success

Meanwhile, Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar, continues to dominate the box office. Since its release on December 5, 2024, the film has shattered records, solidifying its place as a major success. Despite the controversy surrounding Siddharth’s comments, Pushpa 2 remains one of the most talked-about films in recent times, and Allu Arjun’s popularity continues to soar.
