Telugu superstar Allu Arjun found himself involved in real-life drama when he was arrested, detained, and bailed all within a few hours on Friday. However, his release was delayed, forcing him to spend the night in jail, despite being granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court.

He was initially sent to judicial custody for 14 days, but later in the day, he was granted bail. However, the bail order was not delivered to the prison authorities in time, and he spent the night in jail. A minor error in the bail order delayed the process further as officials had to scrutinize the corrected document to ensure Arjun’s release only on Saturday morning.
