Fan Reactions to Allu Arjun Sneha Reddy Mobbed Video
Social Network Explosion after Video Launch - Allu Arjun "Down to Earth King" etc... Fewer liked the over zealousness. I Love Allu, but give him space. YT rants confirmed that some of the way that fans have behaved and questioned (i.e. Media) in what they perceive to be "dangerous" situations; Siva Prasad tweeted that it was dangerous for fans, in particular, to act this way, and suggested that there should have been some type of regulation or safety net in place for this. There were numerous threads on Reddit discussing the way in which celebrities handle being approached in public.
On an up note, it brought a lot of attention to the cafe that was the location where the drop took place.
Recently, stars like Samantha and many others have had similar experiences, which sparked many discussions in relation to the idea that fans can now begin to really "mob" or swarm a star when they are out in the public. Many, including Arjun's fans, have challenged the notion that this type of treatment should not be allowed and have started trending (#RespectAlluArjunFamily) to let it be known that they are in support of Allu and the family, and hope that at future events, fans will respect and allow for some personal space.
