Pushpa 2 song Dammunte Pattukora deleted from all social media platforms over controversial lyrics 

On December 24, the makers of Pushpa 2 released the song Dammunte Pattukora on social media. A day later, the song was taken down from all social media platforms. This comes amid the legal trouble of Allu Arjun in the Sandhya Theatre stampede incident.

In the track, Allu Arjun's character could be heard telling inspector Bhanwar Singh Shekawat (played by Faahadh Faasil) that “Dammunte pattukora Shekawathu, pattukunte vadilesta syndicatu. (Catch me if you dare Shekawat, I’ll leave the syndicate if you’re successful)." While the song caught major traction, some social media users questioned the timing. A track that essentially talks about challenging the police authority at a time when Allu Arjun is tussling with law enforcement seemed fishy to netizens.

The makers had to pull the song down from all social media platforms after the social media users made memes and posts on the same. While some thought that the timing of the song was hilarious, others believed that it was too ‘inappropriate’. This led to the music company removing the song from all platforms upon realising the implications.  

Allu Arjun has been in a tussle with the police and State government recently. The actor was arrested from his residence on December 13 and was ordered a 14-day judicial custody by a local court. However, the Telangana High Court granted him a 4-week interim bail. This comes after a 35-year-old woman lost her life during a stampede at Pushpa 2 premiere show screening.
