Prior to the theatrical release, a pre-release event was organized, with Allu Arjun announced as the chief guest. The organizers had publicly confirmed Allu Arjun’s attendance, and entry to the event was restricted to a select few. However, the event was live-streamed online for fans.
The event, held in Hyderabad, was scheduled to begin at 5 PM but was delayed and didn’t start until 8 PM. Despite the delay, Allu Arjun was notably absent from the event.
The reason for Allu Arjun’s absence? His father, Allu Aravind, clarified the situation. According to him, Allu Arjun had recently returned from abroad and was suffering from severe gastritis. This health issue was the reason behind his absence from the event, as reported by 123 Telugu.
