On Sunday, December 8, the Hyderabad police arrested three people related to the death of a fan during the premiere of “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” The people arrested include M Sandeep, the owner of Sandhya Theatre, the manager M Nagaraju, and the security head Gandhakam Vijay Chander.
This incident happened on December 4, when the premiere was held at the theatre in RTC X Roads. Allu Arjun attended the event with his co-star Rashmika Mandanna and his wife, Allu Sneha Reddy. The police said that they were not informed in advance about the actor’s visit, which led to a chaotic situation among the fans. The excitement turned into a stampede as many rushed to see Allu Arjun, causing a tragic incident that resulted in the death of a 35-year-old fan named Revathi. Revathi and her young son both lost consciousness during the chaos. While she was declared dead, her son was hospitalized in serious condition.
The police acted quickly, providing CPR to both Revathi and her son before taking them to the hospital. A case was filed against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management for the unfortunate event.
In response to this tragedy, Allu Arjun offered ₹25 lakh (about $30,000) to Revathi’s family and promised to cover the medical expenses for her son. At a news conference, he expressed his sorrow, saying, “The money is just a way to show we care. I can’t fix their loss, but I will support them as best as I can.”
