Mumbai, Jan 31 (PTI) We are there for each other, says Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya about "Pushpa 2" lead star Allu Arjun's arrest following the death of a woman during a stampede at the film's premiere.

“We are all there for each other in the South, but whatever happened was unfortunate and it shouldn't have gone that way. But we are all there for each other,” Chaitanya told PTI.
Following the tragedy, a case was registered against Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management at the Chikkadpally police station. The charges were filed under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on a complaint by the deceased woman's family.
Arjun was arrested on December 13 in connection with the case. However, the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail on December 14 and a regular bail on January 3.
After Arjun's release from jail, Chaitanya was among the many actors who had visited the "Pushpa 2" star's residence.
Chaitanya is currently in the city to promote his upcoming feature, “Thandel”, which will be released theatrically on February 7.
“Thandel”, directed by Chandoo Mondeti, also stars Sai Pallavi. It is produced by Bunny Vasu under Geetha Arts and presented by Arjun's father Allu Aravind.
