The premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule in Hyderabad turned into chaos and tragedy on Wednesday night at Sandhya Theatre, RTC Crossroads, as a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of star Allu Arjun.

A stampede-like situation broke out when Allu Arjun made a surprise appearance, leading to the collapse of a woman and her child. According to a report in Matrubhumi, the woman, identified as 39-year-old Revathi from Dilsukhnagar, tragically died, while her child was critically injured.

Revathi had attended the event with her husband Bhaskar and their two children. Chaos erupted around 10:30 PM when Allu Arjun arrived, and police struggled to control the overwhelming crowd.

Videos circulating on X show a man frantically administering CPR to an unconscious child in the crowd. Revathi was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to her injuries. The situation escalated so severely that even the theatre’s main gate collapsed in the turmoil.

“Allu Arjun was seen leaving the premises shortly after, surrounded by heavy security,” the report said. “He briefly waved at fans from the sunroof and asked them to clear the way for his vehicles.”

Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise, with Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprising their roles.
