Telugu actor Allu Sirish has approached Hyderabad City Police over an alleged late night noise disturbance in the Shaikpet area of Hyderabad. The actor said loud music was being played at a Hanuman temple in Vinobha Nagar until around 2 or 3 am and claimed that the sound was disturbing residents in the surrounding residential area.
Sirish raised the matter through a post on X on September 27. He tagged Hyderabad City Police and identified himself as a resident of Aparna One in Shaikpet. According to his post, the Hanuman temple in Vinobha Nagar had been playing loud music for several days and the sound was allegedly beyond permitted decibel levels.
The actor said he had already approached the Film Nagar Police Station regarding the issue. According to Sirish, residents had been asked to tolerate the situation until September 25 because of the Ganesh immersion celebrations. He claimed that the celebrations had ended but the loud music continued.
Sirish also said the noise was affecting different sections of the residential community. He specifically referred to elderly residents, children and working professionals and said that several complaints had allegedly been made in the past.
The actor requested Hyderabad City Police to look into the matter and take appropriate action. He also shared a short video along with his social media post to highlight the noise he was referring to.
The complaint received a response from Hyderabad City Police. The official police account replied to Sirish on X, stating that the matter had been shared with the Film Nagar Station House Officer for necessary action. This indicates that the complaint was forwarded to the local police authorities for further consideration.
The issue has drawn attention because of the broader discussion surrounding noise levels in residential areas. Sirish's complaint specifically concerns music allegedly being played during late night hours. His comments have also prompted discussion on social media about the impact of loudspeakers and amplified music on people living near places of worship.
However, the allegations regarding the exact sound levels and any violation of applicable regulations remain matters for the authorities to verify. The actor's post represents his account of the situation, while the Hyderabad Police response confirms that the complaint has been forwarded to the concerned local police officer.
The timing of the complaint also comes shortly after the Ganesh immersion celebrations in Hyderabad. Sirish said residents had earlier been asked to tolerate the noise until September 25 because of the festivities. He claimed that the music continued even after the celebrations were over.
Reports about the complaint have also highlighted the issue of maintaining a balance between religious or community celebrations and the interests of residents living in nearby areas. Religious festivals and public celebrations can involve music and loudspeakers, while authorities also have rules governing the use of amplified sound. Any specific violation in this case would need to be established through official inspection or action.
The incident has therefore become a local civic issue as well as a subject of public discussion. Sirish's appeal has brought attention to the concerns of residents who say late night noise can affect sleep and daily routines. The Hyderabad Police response means that the complaint has now been placed before the local police authorities.
Allu Sirish is the younger brother of actor Allu Arjun and the son of film producer Allu Aravind. He made his acting debut with the 2013 Telugu Tamil bilingual film Gouravam. He later appeared in films including Kotha Janta, Srirastu Subhamastu, Okka Kshanam, ABCD American Born Confused Desi and Urvasivo Rakshasivo. He has also worked in Tamil and Malayalam cinema. His most recent Telugu film was Buddy, which was released in 2024.
For now, the main development is the Hyderabad Police response to Sirish's public complaint. The police have said the matter has been forwarded to the Film Nagar SHO for necessary action. Any further action will depend on the local authorities' assessment of the complaint and the applicable rules concerning loudspeakers and permissible noise levels.
The episode has once again brought attention to the practical challenges of managing amplified music in densely populated residential neighbourhoods. While Sirish has publicly raised concerns about the alleged disturbance, the police are now the appropriate authority to examine the complaint and determine whether any action is required.
