Thousands of fans gathered outside the Sandhya Theatre to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun and enjoy Pushpa 2: The Rule’s screening with him. However, the superstar’s arrival led to a stampede-like situation, as the frenzied fans surged forward to have a glimpse of the actor, a police official said. The incident took place at Sandhya 70 mm theatre at the busy RTC Cross Roads near Musheerabad at around 10 PM.
However, when the situation went out of control, police personnel resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowds. “The family, which was standing near the theatre entrance, was jostled and pushed down by the crowds. While Bhaskar and his daughter managed to escape with mild injuries, Revanthi and the minor son were trampled by the crowds,” the police official added.
