Icon Star Allu Arjun expressed profound sorrow, along with director Sukumar and the entire team of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule,' upon learning of a woman's tragic death in a stampede just minutes before the premiere of their film. The actor pledged his unwavering support to the grieving family and announced an immediate ex-gratia payment of Rs 25 lakhs.

"For the past two decades, I have consistently watched my films alongside the audience in theatres, and this occasion was no exception. I was present at RTC X Roads. Unfortunately, Revathi Garu lost her life in the stampede at the theatre. We are all deeply shocked by this tragedy, which has overshadowed our ability to celebrate the film's release. Regardless of our actions, we cannot reverse this loss. I will always stand by the family. As a gesture of support, I am contributing Rs 25 lakhs to assist in securing the future of her two children. Additionally, we are covering the medical expenses for the injured child. Our intention in making films is to bring joy to families, and incidents like this drain our spirits," Allu Arjun stated.

He further conveyed, "The tragic event at Sandhya Theatre deeply saddens me. My sincere condolences go out to the bereaved family during this incredibly challenging time. I want to assure them that they are not alone in their grief, and I intend to meet with the family personally. While I respect their need for privacy as they mourn, I am committed to providing every possible support to help them through this difficult journey."
