At the Hyderabad premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, a horrible occurrence occurred. According to accounts, there was a stampede-like event that left a lady dead and her small kid badly injured.
Actor Allu Arjun had come to the Sandhya Theatre to meet fans when the event happened late on Wednesday night. Chaos reportedly broke out as fans pushed past others leaving the theater in their desire to meet the star. Revathi, the victim, went to the premiere screening with her spouse and two kids. The mother, her husband, and their two kids may have become stuck in the confusion that resulted in the stampede at RTC X Roads, an officer informed TOI.
Citing a preliminary investigation by the police, a report by PTI stated that heavy crowd rushed ahead and the woman and her son, who were trying to enter inside the theatre, suffocated and fell unconscious apparently after being pushed by the crowd.
