A stampede ensued at Sandhya theatre on premiere night of Pushpa 2: The Rule after the actor arrived at the venue.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday evening, the Pushpa actor called the incident "very unfortunate" and said there was "a lot of misinformation" and "character assassination" against him. `It is a very unfortunate incident. It is completely an accident. My condolences to the family. I am taking updates every hour about the condition of the child (hospitalised). His condition is improving, it is very good. There is a lot of misinformation, false allegations are being made. I don`t want to blame any department or politician. My character is being assassinated,`" Arjun told the media on the December 4`s Sandhya Theatre stampede in which a woman was killed and her child was injured.
