Actor Allu Arjun, who was arrested in connection with the stampede at a Hyderabad theatre during the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ on December 4, 2024, and later released on interim bail, was granted regular bail by a local court on January 3, 2025. The court set the bail conditions, directing the actor to provide two sureties of Rs 50,000 each.

The tragic incident occurred when a large crowd gathered at the Sandhya 70MM theatre to catch a glimpse of the National Award-winning actor, who had arrived with music director Devi Sri Prasad for the screening. In the ensuing chaos, a 35-year-old woman named Revathi lost her life, and her 9-year-old son was hospitalized due to asphyxiation.

Following the incident, Allu Arjun and the makers of ‘Pushpa 2’ announced a compensation of Rs 2 crore for the child’s family. The actor personally contributed Rs 1 crore, while Mythri Movies and director Sukumar each donated Rs 50 lakh.
