Hyderabad/IBNS: Telugu superstar Allu Arjun on Tuesday visited the boy who was injured during a stampede which broke out during the premiere show of Pushpa 2: The Rule in Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre in December last year, media reports said.

Allu Arjun visited the eight-year-old boy named Sri Teja, whose mother had died in the stampede, at KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad.

A Hyderabad court last Friday granted a regular bail to Allu Arjun who was also arrested in connection with the case last month.

The stampede occurred when Allu Arjun visited the theatre where his movie Pushpa 2 was being screened and it led to chaos.

Thirty-five-year-old Revathi had died and her son Sri Teja was injured.

Soon after, Hyderabad police registered a case against Allu Arjun following which he was arrested and granted bail shortly after.

The husband of the woman who died in the stampede at the premiere said he does not blame Allu Arjun for the tragedy and is ready to withdraw the police case filed in the matter.

Allu Arjun had grieved the woman's death and announced a monetary support of Rs. 25 lakh for the family.

Amid the row over the fatal stampede, Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy told the representatives of the Telugu film industry that crowd control is as much a celebrities' responsibility as it is of the police.

Actors as popular as Allu Arjun had to work with police in managing the crowd, Reddy said in reference to the December 4 stampede that killed one woman whose son was critical but is now recovering in hospital.
