Hyderabad: Celebrations for Allu Arjun’s 44th birthday took a chaotic turn in Hyderabad after a massive crowd gathered outside his residence in Jubilee Hills, prompting police intervention and a brief lathi charge to control the situation.
The Telugu superstar, who enjoys a massive fan following after the success of Pushpa: The Rise, saw hundreds of fans assembling outside his home late at night to celebrate the occasion.
