Mon Nov 18 05:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa-2 Trailer Launch in Patna Turns Chaotic Amidst Massive Crowd
**PATNA, BIHAR (November 18, 2024)** – The trailer launch of the highly anticipated Telugu film, *Pushpa-2*, in Patna, Bihar, took an unexpected turn, attracting an unexpectedly massive crowd that overwhelmed security and led to minor clashes. While the event was initially planned as a relatively small affair, it quickly escalated into a scene reminiscent of a large-scale pre-release event, drawing national attention.
The turnout far surpassed expectations, with the crowd swelling to unmanageable proportions by evening. Despite a significant security presence—including 900 police officers and over 300 private security personnel—the sheer number of attendees led to a chaotic situation. Police were forced to resort to a lathi charge to control the surging crowd, which responded by throwing shoes and stones. A minor stampede also occurred. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
Videos circulating on social media show hundreds of people climbing onto a tower in the middle of the venue to get a better view of Allu Arjun, the film’s star, when he appeared on stage. The scale of the event has drawn comparisons to political rallies, sparking widespread discussion across the country.
While large-scale events for South Indian film stars are common in their home states, the overwhelming response in Patna, a city in North India, has surprised many. The incident highlights the immense popularity of *Pushpa-2* and Allu Arjun, whose presence ignited an unprecedented level of enthusiasm among fans in Bihar.
