In a tragic event, a 32-year-old woman lost her life in a stampede that happened at the premiere of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2'. The screening was held in Hyderabad on the night of December 4, a day before its worldwide theatrical release. The crowd went out of control when film's leading actor arrived for the screening. 

The victim identified as Revathi and her son Sritej were both trapped in the stampede. While the child is battling for his life in the hospital, Revathi could not be saved. For Revathi's 40-year-old husband Mogadampalli Bhaskar, his world came crashing as the city celebrated the release of 'Pushpa 2'.
