Hyderabad/IBNS: Telugu star Allu Arjun has grieved over the death of a woman in stampede during the premiere show of Pushpa 2: The Rule in Hyderabad.

He also announced a monetary support of Rs. 25 lakh for the family.

Allu posted on X, "Deeply heartbroken by the tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre. My heartfelt condolences go out to the grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time. I want to assure them they are not alone in this pain and will meet the family personally.

"While respecting their need for space to grieve, I stand committed to extend every possible assistance to help them navigate through this challenging journey."

Meanwhile, the Chikkadpally Police has registered a criminal case against Allu Arjun, his security team and the theatre house management after the victim's husband had lodged a complaint.

The chaos broke out at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad's RTC Crossroads at around 10:30 pm when a massive crowd rushed to the theatre to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun, who was also present at the screening.

Revathi, 39, came to the theatre with her husband and two children from Dilsukhnagar to attend the premiere show.

Revathi was rushed to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries while her young son, who was also wounded, is in critical condition at the clinic.

As per reports, the crowd barged into the theatre as Allu Arjun arrived.

A number of people tried to get closer to their favourite star who was guarded by heavy security.

Police also had to lathicharge to disperse the crowd that had turned unruly.

Later, Allu Arjun waved at his fans from the sun roof of his car where he was escorted safely by his security.

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise.

The second installment features Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in the lead alongside Allu Arjun, who charged Rs. 300 crore as his remuneration, the highest by an Indian actor.
