Telangana’s cinematography minister, Komatireddy Venkata Reddy, has made a serious decision after a tragic incident during the premiere of “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” This event led to one person’s death and a young boy being hospitalized.
In a statement to the press, the minister announced that the Telangana government will no longer allow benefit shows for any movies. These special shows, which charge higher ticket prices, are common in southern India to help boost a film’s earnings. The incident happened on December 4 when the film’s stars, including Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, attended a screening in Hyderabad.
During the event, a family got caught in the chaos. Tragically, a woman died due to asphyxiation, and her son was taken to the hospital in serious condition. The minister expressed his sadness for the victim’s family and criticized the film’s crew for not taking proper safety measures. He urged Arjun and the movie’s team to help the affected family, as the husband had just recovered from a liver transplant.
The minister stated that no hero should visit theaters without government permission in the future. He emphasized the importance of safety and said guidelines would be shared soon. A case has been opened against Arjun, his security team, and the theater management for not ensuring safety.
