Wherever Siddharth goes, controversy seems to follow. And if there isn't one, he often finds a way to stir things up himself. Many feel he intentionally triggers people to ensure the media spotlight remains on him.
Recently, during the promotional event for his latest movie Miss You, Siddharth commented Pushpa 2 should be scared of clashing with his film and not the other way around.

This statement now pales in comparison to his latest comment.
In a recent interview, Siddharth dismissed the massive crowd of 3-4 lakh people at the Bihar event for Pushpa 2 as nothing but a promotional gimmick.

He claimed, "In our country, even a JCB digging site attracts a crowd. So, people gathering to see Allu Arjun in Bihar isn't something extraordinary."
Unsurprisingly, this remark has sparked significant backlash online.

One user trolled him by saying, "Even if Siddharth did an item dance on the streets, no one would come to watch him, even in Tamil Nadu, let alone Bihar." Others accused him of harboring jealousy toward Telugu actors and their pan-India success.
One user wrote, "800cr in 4 days for #Pushpa2TheRule dude Meanwhile, #Siddharth can only dream of such success. You can pay for crowds, but turning them into real cinema lovers? That's where #AlluArjun is light-years ahead of you!"
Many feel it's a case of sour grapes for Siddharth.
Many believe Siddharth deliberately makes such comments close to his film releases, attempting to gain attention through controversy.
However, despite the buzz these remarks create, his films continue to struggle at the box office.
