Controversial Podcast Clip Sparks Debate
The controversy began after a brand strategist detailed her professional interaction with Allu Arjun during a podcast. She claimed that meeting the actor involved navigating a large entourage, multiple managers, and highly structured protocols.
According to the strategist, the actor’s team allegedly enforces as many as 42 dos and don’ts for those meeting him, including restrictions such as not shaking hands or avoiding direct eye contact with the star.
The strategist suggested that these rules are implemented by Allu Arjun’s management to maintain discipline and streamline interactions, particularly given his rising popularity and packed schedule. She also noted that such measures reflect the growing complexity of accessing high-profile celebrities in the film industry.
Following the release of the clip, netizens shared mixed reactions. While some questioned the necessity of such strict protocols, others defended the need for professional boundaries in high-pressure celebrity environments.
