A tragic incident occurred outside Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated movie, Pushpa 2: The Rule.
While Allu Arjun was inside the theatre watching the film, a massive crowd of fans gathered outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the actor. The situation quickly spiraled out of control as the crowd grew larger. When the police attempted to manage the chaos, a stampede broke out.
Amid the confusion, a 32-year-old woman, who was at the theatre with her husband and two children, got caught in the crowd. Despite the police performing CPR and rushing her to the hospital, she tragically succumbed to her injuries.
In the same incident, a young boy fainted during the stampede. The police provided CPR and ensured he was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
The overwhelming number of fans outside the theatre also caused severe traffic jams in the RTC X Roads area, highlighting the scale of the crowd.
This heartbreaking event has raised concerns about safety measures during large gatherings, especially at high-profile movie events. Fans and authorities alike are now discussing the urgent need for better planning and crowd control to prevent such tragedies in the future.
