Allu Arjun Reaches Out to Sri Tej: A Visit to the Hospital After Pushpa 2 Stampede Tragedy
1 day ago | 5 Views
Pushpa 2 has achieved remarkable success at the box office; however, Allu Arjun has been unable to relish this triumph due to his involvement in the Sandhya Theater stampede incident. Although he was subsequently granted bail, a succession of contentious developments has resulted in ongoing scrutiny and restricted his movements to his residence.

A tragic incident occurred during the screening of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theater, resulting in the death of a woman and leaving her son, Sri Tej, in a brain-dead condition. Fortunately, there have been recent signs of improvement in Sri Tej's health. On January 7, 2025, Allu Arjun made a visit to Continental Hospital to see the child, as confirmed by a source close to the actor.
This visit marks Allu Arjun's first engagement with Sri Tej since his hospitalization. His absence in the aftermath of the incident had drawn considerable criticism, including remarks from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who labelled his behaviour as irresponsible. However, Allu Arjun has now taken proactive measures to address the situation.
Along with the makers of Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun has donated ₹2 crore to Sri Tej’s family and pledged to secure permanent employment for him in the film industry. This gave the issue a bit of respite in the media and trolls over Allu Arjun.

Allu Arjun is currently facing legal restrictions that prevent him from travelling internationally, and he is mandated to report weekly to the Chikkadapally police station to complete the necessary documentation. This protracted legal dispute has presented significant difficulties for the actor in recent weeks. Nevertheless, with reports of his recent hospital visit surfacing, it seems that the controversy may be approaching a conclusion.
The matter of fan safety at major events has emerged as a significant issue within the film industry. Recently, two admirers of Ram Charan tragically lost their lives in a motorcycle accident while returning from the Game Changer event in Rajahmundry. In light of this incident, Ram Charan and Pawan Kalyan have contributed ₹10 lakh to support the families of the victims.
As safety concerns continue to escalate, there is speculation regarding the potential scaling down of such large events in the future. This subject has sparked considerable discussion across media and film circles.
In other news, Allu Arjun is preparing to work with Trivikram Srinivas on his upcoming project, a pan-Indian film that is currently in the pre-production phase. The film will be produced by Chinna Babu under the Harika & Hassine Creations banner. Further updates on this promising project will be forthcoming.
