A day earlier, the action sequel ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ arrived in theatres, sparking excitement among his fans.
However, a woman lost her life while her son was critically injured in a stampede at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre after Allu Arjun made a surprise visit to the event.

In the video shared to X, Arjun maintained that he alongside the entire team of ‘Pushpa 2’ will stand in solidarity with the victim’s family.

I want to assure them they are not alone in this pain and will meet the family personally. While respecting their need for space to grieve, I stand committed to extend every possible assistance to help them navigate through this challenging journey,” the caption of the video reads.

“When we went to watch Pushpa’s premiere at RTC Crossroads [in Hyderabad], we never expected to hear such tragic news the next day. It was deeply disheartening to hear that a family was injured, and a lady named Revathi died due to her injuries,” he said.
The ‘Pushpa 2’ star announced an INR2.5 million in financial assistance to the family of the deceased woman.
“As a goodwill gesture, I would like to extend financial assistance of Rs 25 lakh to the family. Additionally, we will take care of the medical expenses to ensure the injured members receive the best possible care.
