A fan wrote- “don’t worry. They can go without any security. He is a superstar. The security should be able to recognise his face with face mask.”

A third said, “he didn’t remove his mask because you guys were recording him. maybe if you had put your camera down, he would have removed it when the officer first asked.
enough with this pointless narratives.”

And another commented- “Airport screening rules are for everyone.. not just common passengers.
Security is the same for celebrities, VIPs, and the public.
If someone refuses to properly reveal their face during security checks, it’s not just about privacy ,it could pose a threat to national safety.
Being famous doesn’t mean bypassing rules. In fact, setting the right example is part of their responsibility.”

In a moment that marks both cinematic excellence and personal triumph, National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun was awarded the Best Actor title for his powerhouse performance in Pushpa 2: The Rule at the inaugural Telangana Gaddar Film Awards, organized by the Telangana State Government. The award was presented by Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy, in a grand ceremony held in Hyderabad.

What makes this recognition all the more powerful is the context of a consistent ruling story. Today, the government stands in applause, honouring him for his contribution to Telugu cinema.
