After the clip from the podcast went viral, Arjun’s team released the statement on Tuesday. The note read: “Certain recent comments made about Mr. Allu Arjun are completely baseless and untrue. He has always conducted himself with the utmost dignity and honour. We take these false allegations seriously. Our legal team is initiating defamation proceedings against those responsible. We request everyone to refrain from spreading unverified information.”

What did the brand manager say about Allu Arjun?
Kaveri Baruah, the brand manager, who had earlier worked in Royal Enfield's brand strategy department (as per her now-deleted LinkedIn profile), recently appeared on the Sweekriti Talks podcast, where she claimed, “My another interesting encounter was with Allu Arjun, the mega star of Hyderabad. South stars come with an entourage. Before meeting him, we had a note which had 42 dos and don’ts. And they have manager ka manager ka manager. They are very strict, like ‘don’t look into sir’s eyes, don’t shake your hands’.”
When the podcaster asked the reason behind the rules, she said, “Mere ko kya pata? (How will I know?) That’s the rule.” The clip instantly went viral and a section of netizens started slamming Allu Arjun based on Kaveri's claims.
