Pan-India superstar Allu Arjun recently found himself in the middle of an unexpected controversy after a video of him at Mumbai airport went viral on social media. The clip shows the actor being asked by CISF personnel to remove his mask and sunglasses for identity verification, a standard security procedure at airports across India. However, Allu Arjun’s hesitation and reluctance to comply with the protocol quickly drew sharp criticism from fans and internet users alike.
The video, which surfaced on Reddit and other platforms, captured the moment when security officers requested the actor to fully reveal his face, but Allu Arjun appeared hesitant to remove his mask and shades immediately. This behavior did not sit well with many viewers, triggering a debate around celebrity privileges and the so-called ‘star ego.’
Comments on Reddit ranged from disappointment to outright condemnation. One user wrote, “Just show your full face man, why be so egoistic? Sadly these people think themselves as Gods cause of stupid fans and don't care to follow protocols.” Another remarked, “Someone tell Allu egoistic Arjun that the Army officer is the real hero lol not you.” The sentiment echoed among many netizens who felt that no individual, regardless of stardom, should be exempt from security rules.

One particularly detailed comment highlighted the disconnect between celebrity status and responsibility: “I just love it when paps post these kinds of videos, this way public get to know how their so-called ‘idols’ behave. The CISF personnel was doing his duty perfectly, but this egoistic man just didn't want to follow the rules. From the video, it's clear that he made his staff say something to the CISF personnel but when he didn't agree, Allu had to show his face but Mr. Egoistic still didn't oblige perfectly. But he'll show his face while visiting other countries where people don't know him.”
The incident comes at a time when Allu Arjun is gearing up for his next big venture, a high-budget fantasy action thriller directed by Atlee, which is currently untitled. The film is highly anticipated by fans and industry watchers alike, adding to the spotlight on the star.
As celebrities continue to navigate public spaces during these sensitive times, many viewers expect them to set a positive example by respecting safety protocols. This episode has reignited the ongoing conversation about celebrity behaviour and accountability, reminding stars and fans alike that fame should not exempt anyone from following rules meant for everyone’s safety.
