The song 'Dammunte Pattukora' was pulled after criticism of its provocative lyrics and its release during Allu Arjun's legal troubles tied to a fatal stampede incident.
- The song 'Dammunte Pattukora' from the film Pushpa 2: The Rule was removed from YouTube and social media platforms due to its controversial lyrics.
- The lyrics, which challenge a police officer in the film, were criticized for their timing, as actor Allu Arjun is currently facing legal issues involving a stampede incident.
- The stampede occurred on December 4 during a special screening of Pushpa 2 at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre, resulting in the death of a woman and injuries to her young son.
- Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident but was granted interim bail the following day; he has denied accusations of irresponsibility.
- Despite the controversies, Pushpa 2 has been a commercial success, grossing over Rs 1100 crore in India and becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.
