Hyderabad Premiere Tragedy
This incident followed a stampede in a crowd that had gathered to see an uninvited appearance from Allu Arjun while watching the premiere of one of his movies at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad last night, which claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman. A nine year old son of the woman became asphyxiated and remains hospitalised.
Legal Issues with Allu Arjun
Allu Arjun, his security personnel, and the management of Sandhya Theatre have been lodged under sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 118(1) (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous means) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita by the Hyderabad Police. The actor and the management of the theatre haven’t yet spoken about the matter.
The Rule is directed by Sukumar. The movie stars Allu Arjun as Pushpa, the laborer who becomes a smuggling kingpin. Rashmika Mandanna is playing the female lead and Fahadh Faasil is playing the villain in the movie.
Though the fans are eagerly waiting for the continuation of the story ofPushpa, it has caused many disappointments with disruptions in theshow. Moreover, it raises a concern about the safety at the theatres.
