Producer Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind the highly anticipated Pushpa 2: The Rule, has categorically dismissed rumours involving Telugu superstar Allu Arjun in a controversy surrounding choreographer Jani Master.
Recent media reports suggested that Allu Arjun had extended his support to a woman involved in a sexual abuse case against Jani Master, leading to speculations about the actor's role in the matter. Actress Jhansi, who is overseeing the investigation on behalf of the Telugu Film Chambers of Commerce, had hinted that a "top hero" from the Telugu industry had allegedly reached out to the woman, further fueling rumours. Given that both Jani Master and the accuser had worked on the Pushpa films, many speculated that Allu Arjun was the actor in question.
Adding to the speculation, fans pointed out that Allu Arjun did not publicly congratulate Jani Master after the latter won the National Award for his choreography in Thiruchitrambalam, a move some interpreted as a potential sign of discord.
Ravi Shankar, however, was quick to refute these claims, blaming certain sections of the media for spreading misinformation. "The issue between Jani Master and the woman is personal," he said, clarifying that the woman in question had been hired as an additional choreographer for Pushpa 2. "We hired her along with Ganesh Acharya, who is the main choreographer for the project. She’s still part of our upcoming song shoot in October," he added.
He further stressed that Allu Arjun had no involvement in the case, stating, "For someone of Allu Arjun’s stature, it doesn’t make sense to suggest he would sabotage Jani Master’s career or promote the woman’s. On set, the hero merely exchanges pleasantries with the dancers and doesn’t get involved in their personal lives."
Ravi Shankar also revealed that they had been planning to hire Jani Master to choreograph a special song for Pushpa 2 just before the sexual abuse allegations against him came to light.
Jani Master was arrested last week on the charges of rape, and the cops have also invoked Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act charges against him.
