Overview
- Sritej, now nine, has shown only about 5% recovery and remains in intensive neuro‑rehabilitation, with difficulty speaking, eating and sometimes breathing on his own.
- His father says monthly medical needs run roughly ₹90,000 to ₹1.25 lakh and that interest from the ₹2 crore deposit does not meet ongoing costs after he quit his job to provide full‑time care.
- The ex gratia package totals ₹2 crore — ₹1 crore from Allu Arjun and ₹50 lakh each from Mythri Movie Makers and director Sukumar — with Dil Raju appointed to oversee disbursal.
- On Thursday, the father met Dil Raju seeking more assistance; Raju said interest from the corpus is routed monthly, about ₹70 lakh in medical bills has already been paid, and Allu Arjun is bearing current rehabilitation costs.
- Allu Arjun’s representative Bunny Vas said requests should go through intermediaries rather than direct contact, while a social‑media video of the father thanking the actor has circulated alongside reports of unanswered pleas.
