It was widely expected that the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule would see a massive crowd heading to theatres, but who would have thought that the film's premiere would cost someone their life? On Wednesday night, a premiere was hosted at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre, and Allu Arjun himself attended to witness his much-anticipated film. However, the presence of the star caused the crowd to go berserk, leading to a stampede outside the theatre at RTC X Roads. Around 10:30–11:00 PM, a woman lost her life, and two others were injured in the incident.  

Absolutely criminal negligence by the theatre management and police during the Pushpa 2 screening… why weren’t they better prepared if Allu Arjun was visiting? pic.twitter.com/mnCbxSVDqp
