Wed Dec 25 09:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Tollywood Bigwigs to Meet Telangana CM Amidst “Pushpa 2” Tragedy Fallout
**Hyderabad, December 25, 2024** – Leading figures from the Telugu film industry (Tollywood) are scheduled to meet with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. The meeting, to be held at the Command Control Center in Banjara Hills, will include prominent actors like Megastar Chiranjeevi and Victory Venkatesh, along with influential producers such as Allu Aravind and Dil Raju (Chairman of the Film Development Corporation). Several other producers and directors are also expected to attend.
The meeting’s agenda will primarily focus on issues affecting the film industry. However, the discussion is highly anticipated given the recent tragedy surrounding the release of “Pushpa 2.” Following a stampede at a pre-release screening, resulting in one death and serious injuries to another, actor Allu Arjun was arrested and later released on bail. The incident sparked intense debate in the Telangana Assembly, with CM Reddy making key statements that prompted a response from Allu Arjun.
The meeting will also involve several Telangana ministers, including Deputy CM Batti Vikramarka. Government sources indicate that the discussions will cover a wide range of industry concerns, but the “Pushpa 2” incident will undoubtedly be a significant point of conversation. The meeting comes as Tollywood figures continue to visit the injured victim, Sri Teja, in hospital and as producer Allu Aravind announced a ₹2 crore aid package for the victim’s family. The release of CCTV footage from the incident and statements from police officers involved have further fueled public interest in the upcoming meeting.
