In a controversial incident, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's appearance at a theatre screening of 'Pushpa-2' resulted in tragic consequences, with a woman dying in a stampede on December 4. The actor faced criticism from Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for ignoring police directives and continuing with his roadshow.

Videos circulated showing Allu Arjun standing through his car's sunroof, encouraging thousands of fans gathered at the venue. The theatre management had sought police security, but the request was denied due to crowd control concerns.
