Allu Arjun’s growing troubles

The actor was taken into custody at his residence on Friday in relation to the death of a fan during the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. A young victim of the stampede remains in critical condition.

The incident occurred on December 4 at the premiere event in Hyderabad, where Allu Arjun was present alongside his family and co-star Rashmika Mandanna. A stampede ensued at the Sandhya Theatre as fans became overly excited by his attendance. This unfortunate event resulted in the death of 35-year-old Revathi, while her son continues to receive critical care in the hospital.

He was released from the Hyderabad jail on Saturday and has since been reconnecting with family members and industry friends. On Sunday, Allu Arjun issued a statement explaining his absence from the hospital visit for the second victim of the stampede.

"Due to the ongoing legal proceedings, I have been advised against visiting him and his family at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I am dedicated to fulfilling my responsibilities regarding their medical and familial needs," he stated.
