I heard that Mario Casas, a spanish movie star, had an 'arrastre' in Chile. Does it mean he was arrested?

I checked on the net and found an article about him in Spanish where a fan was : explica el arrastre del galán en Chile.
He is there filming with other actors a film based on the trapped Chilean miners. Strictly the verb means pull or drag. In this case it is the colloquial meaning of attraction. In fact in the UK there is an informal phrase 'on the pull' which means going out hoping you will find someone to have sex with or at least to go out with.

nothing to do with sex per se or going out... just that he has followers. - chileno, Feb 9, 2014
Perhaps I may confuse by mentioning the English idiom. I meant noo to arrest yes to being a fan - Mardle, Feb 9, 2014
