Pushpa 2 team donates ₹2 crore to stampede victim’s family
On Wednesday, Allu Aravind announced to the press that the team of Pushpa 2 has donated ₹2 crore to the stampede victim’s family. He said, “To support the family and the boy after he's released from the hospital, for his future, we have put together an amount of ₹2 crore. 1 crore has been given by Allu Arjun, 50 lakh are given by Mythri Movie Makers and 50 lakh given by our director Sukumar. We've handed the amount to Telangana FDC Chairman (Dil) Raju because we've been advised not to hand it over directly.”
Arjun faces legal consequences for attending the premiere of his film at Sandhya Theatre. His visit resulted in a stampede-like situation, resulting in the death of a woman and the hospitalisation of her young son in critical condition.
The police arrested Arjun on December 13 in connection with the case, and he was released the next day after being granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy claimed that Arjun was informed of the woman’s death when he was watching the film, but the actor claimed he only found out about it the next day.
