Allu Arjun Appears Virtually In ‘Pushpa 2’ Stampede Case; Hearing Adjourned To July 6
Pushpa Stampede Case: The court will next hear the matter on July 6, when all 23 accused are required to appear before it.
- Allu Arjun's appearance caused stampede, killing one woman.
- Court adjourned stampede case hearing until July 6.
- Allu Arjun attended virtually; case adjourned, accused absent.
Allu Arjun was initially expected to appear before the Nampally Court in person. However, after citing his busy shooting schedule, the actor was granted permission to attend the hearing virtually. The court adjourned the hearing to July 6 after one or two of the accused failed to appear before the court.
Hearing Adjourned To July 6
Advocate Bhanu Chander, representing Sandhya Theatre, told reporters that the hearing was adjourned because not all of the accused were present before the court. “I am here to represent Crime No. 376 of 2024 in PRC (Preliminary Related Case) 260 of 2026 for Accused No. 1 to Accused No. 10, comprising the theatre management and its partners. Today’s appearance before the Nampally Magistrate was for filing the committal bond,” he told reporters.

“However, out of the 23 accused named in the police chargesheet, only 21 or 22 appeared, while one or two remained absent.

‘Pushpa 2’ Stampede Case
The case stems from the tragic stampede that occurred on December 4, 2024, during a special screening of ‘Pushpa 2’ at Sandhya Theatre. Allu Arjun went there to greet fans from the sunroof of his car. As a result, a massive crowd gathered outside the venue to catch a glimpse of the actor. This led to a stampede and the subsequent death of a woman.
The incident claimed the life of a woman, Revathi, while her young son, Sri Teja, sustained serious injuries and was hospitalised. Allu Arjun’s father, Allu Aravind, announced a financial aid of Rs 2 crore to support the woman's family.
Allu Arjun will next be seen in ‘Raaka’, directed by Atlee. The film’s title was revealed on the actor’s 44th birthday. It also stars Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor, Ramya Krishnan and Yogi Babu in key roles. The makers are reportedly targeting a December 2027 theatrical release.
