Allu Arjun's visit to Nandyal over the weekend caused an uproar on social media. According to reports, a case was also registered against the Tollywood superstar and Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) MLA Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct amid elections in Andhra Pradesh. The actor visited MLA Reddy, who allegedly invited him without prior permission.
Amid controversy, Allu Arjun said, "Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm not affiliated with any political party. I remain neutral and support my people, regardless of their political affiliations. This includes my uncle Pawan Kalyan, whom I'll always stand by, along with my friend Ravi and my father-in-law, Mr. Reddy. I made a promise to my friend, Mr. Ravi, to support him, but I couldn't fulfill it last time. To keep my word, this time I went to Nandyal to support him."

The matter escalated further when a section of people felt Allu Arjun supported his uncle, Pavan Kalyan's rival, Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy, by visiting him in Andhra Pradesh's Nandyal. The case against Allu Arjun and MLA Reddy was registered by Deputy Tehsildar P Ramachandra Rao from Nandyala Rural. Section 144 of the Election Code and Section 31 of the AP Police Act were imposed.
