**Hyderabad, India** – Allu Arjun, the Tollywood superstar, has been named in a police case following the death of a woman in a stampede outside a Hyderabad cinema on Wednesday. The incident occurred during a benefit screening of his latest film, *Pushpa 2*, at the Sandhya Theater in RTC X Roads.
Revathi, a woman attending the screening, died in the crush, while her nine-year-old son, Sri Tej, sustained serious injuries and is currently hospitalized. The stampede erupted after Allu Arjun’s unexpected arrival at the theater, causing a surge of fans attempting to catch a glimpse of the actor.
Police have filed a case against Allu Arjun, citing negligence and failure to inform authorities of his presence. The Sandhya Theater management also faces action for alleged lapses in crowd control and safety measures. Police reports suggest the theater staff allowed a large number of spectators into the venue without adequate checks, failing to meet minimum safety standards. The theater faces potential closure.
While Allu Arjun’s team and the *Pushpa 2* production company have expressed condolences and pledged support to the victim’s family, including covering the son’s medical expenses, the case highlights the risks associated with large crowds and the importance of crowd management protocols. This incident follows a previous case filed against Allu Arjun for using the word “army” to refer to his fans at a pre-release event.
