Allu Arjun visited MLA Reddy on May 11, which led to a massive gathering of people, violating the currently imposed Section 144 in the district and hence disobeying the poll code.
Deputy Tehsildar P Ramachandra Rao from Nandyala Rural has registered the case against them. Rao has been assigned to oversee elections at Nandyala constituency in Andhra Pradesh.
After meeting Reddy at his residence, Allu Arjun clarified that his visit was only to help his friend and not show any support to a particular political party.
"I came here on my own. Among my friends, in whichever field they are in, I will step up and help them if they need my help. It doesn't mean I am backing or supporting any political party," Allu Arjun said to the media.
The actor of 'Pushpa' fame made an appearance alongside his wife Sneha Reddy on Silpa Ravi's balcony, accompanied by the MLA and their respective family members.
Silpa Ravi posted a video of Allu Arjun waving at the crowd on social media platform X and thanked the actor for travelling all the way to Nandyal to wish him for the elections.
"A heartfelt thank you to my friend @alluarjun for traveling all the way to Nandyal to wish me the best in my election. Your unwavering support means everything to me, and I'm so grateful for our friendship! #Thaggedele," the post read.
