Pawan Kalyan Addresses Pushpa 2 Stampede Tragedy and Allu Arjun's Arrest

The Andhra Deputy Chief Minister calls for collective accountability and emphasizes the importance of supporting the victim's family.

A 35-year-old woman named Revathi died, and her 8-year-old son was injured during a stampede at a Hyderabad theater screening Pushpa 2 on December 4.
Actor Allu Arjun, who visited the theater during the premiere, was briefly arrested on December 13 but was granted interim bail the following day.
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan stated that the tragedy could have been mitigated if the film's team had visited the victim's family earlier to express condolences.
Kalyan stressed that responsibility should not rest solely on Allu Arjun, highlighting the need for collective accountability within the film industry.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy affirmed that law enforcement actions prioritized public safety and that no one is above the law.
