Allu Arjun faces backlash after argument with airport security over mask removal
Mumbai: Tollywood superstar Allu Arjun drew criticism online after a brief altercation with a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at Mumbai airport on Saturday.
According to a viral video, Arjun, dressed in a t-shirt and track pants, presented his ID at the airport entry point. The CISF officer then requested him to remove his face mask to verify his identity as per standard security protocol. Arjun appeared reluctant, engaging in a brief exchange with the officer. A member of his entourage also intervened, but the CISF personnel insisted on following procedure.
The actor eventually lowered his mask partially to reveal his face before quickly putting it back on, after which he was allowed entry.
Social media users criticised Arjun’s response, calling it “arrogant” and “egoistic.” One commenter remarked, “Just show your full face, man. Why be so egoistic? Sadly, these people think themselves as Gods because of fans and don’t care to follow protocols.” Another referenced a past public appearance, saying, “He had no problem showing his face to a mad crowd during Pushpa 2 celebrations, which led to a stampede and death.”
Arjun has not issued a statement regarding the incident.
On the professional front, the actor is working on multiple projects, including AA22xA6 alongside Deepika Padukone, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, and an upcoming film with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga.
Please follow the rules 🙏
