Actor Siddharth while giving an interview referred to the large crowds that Pushpa 2 has attracted were not necessarily indicative of the film's quality and merit. He commented, In India, there’s no connection between gathering a large crowd and quality. It’s not a big deal to gather a crowd in India. You bring a JCB for construction and crowds will gather automatically.

While his comment acted as a backlash on the actor, the actor responded to answer if he has a problem with Allu Arjun. Siddharth clarified, that I have a problem with the word ‘problem’ itself and don’t think I need to clarify on the same. Congratulations to the team of Pushpa 2 for the success.

He added, The first part of the film was a huge hit so obviously the crowd will come to theatres to see the sequel.
