Pushpa star Allu Arjun made a donation of Rs 25 lakh in CM relief fund for his support over recent Kerala floods, actor prays for Waranad landslide victims
Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has joined the list of film personalities contributing to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) to aid the rehabilitation efforts in the landslide-affected Wayanad district in Kerala. The catastrophic landslide that struck on July 30 has claimed 219 lives, as reported by the state government.
Allu Arjun expressed his sorrow and solidarity with the people of Kerala in a heartfelt message on X. He shared that Kerala has always shown him immense love, and this donation was his way of giving back. “I am deeply saddened by the recent landslide in Wayanad. Kerala has always given me so much love, and I want to do my bit by donating ₹25 lakh to the Kerala CM Relief Fund to support the rehabilitation work. Praying for your safety and strength. @CMOKerala,” wrote the “Pushpa: The Rise” star on Sunday.
On Saturday, veteran Malayalam cinema actor Mohanlal, who also holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, arrived in Wayanad in his Army uniform. He pledged Rs 3 crore for the rehabilitation efforts in the disaster-stricken region. “The devastation in Wayanad is a deep wound that will take time to heal. Every home lost and life disrupted is a personal tragedy,” Mohanlal posted alongside a series of pictures from the ground. He visited the Army camp at Meppadi, held discussions with officers, and then proceeded to the landslide-affected areas.
