This incident happened just one day after a very sad event during the premiere of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. A huge crowd gathered outside the theatre because Allu Arjun arrived without any announcement. The crowd got too excited and started pushing and rushing to see him, which caused a stampede. Tragically, a 35-year-old woman lost her life in the stampede, and her nine-year-old son was taken to the hospital because he had trouble breathing.

After this tragedy, the police filed a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the management of Sandhya Theatre. They have been charged under laws for putting lives in danger and causing harm. So far, neither Allu Arjun nor the theatre management has made any statements about the incident or the case.

In Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun plays the role of Pushpa, a man who grows from being a laborer to becoming a smuggling kingpin. The movie, directed by Sukumar, also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead and Fahadh Faasil as the villain. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this sequel after the huge success of the first movie. However, the recent incidents have created problems during its release, overshadowing the excitement around the film.
