Allu Arjun's father clarifies his remarks on Ram Charan's Game Changer failure vs Sankranthiki Vasthunam success
Allu Aravind has addressed recent speculation surrounding his comments at the Thandel event, which many believed were aimed at his nephew, actor Ram Charan, following the performance of Game Changer. The controversy erupted after Aravind’s remarks about producer Dil Raju’s streak of both successes and failures, which some interpreted as a veiled reference to Game Changer’s box office struggles. The statement quickly sparked reactions from Ram Charan’s fans and supporters of the Mega family, fueling rumours of tensions within the family, especially after the 2024 Assembly elections.
Speaking to the media in Hyderabad on February 10, Aravind clarified that his remarks were not intended as criticism of Ram Charan. He emphasized the strong familial bond he shares with Charan, dismissing any speculation of a rift. Acknowledging the backlash, he admitted that he should not have mentioned the matter in the first place and urged people to move past it.
