Deputy Chief Minister Criticizes 'Pushpa 2' Producers Over Stampede Tragedy

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan criticized the producers of 'Pushpa 2' for not reaching out sooner to the family of a woman killed in a theatre stampede in Hyderabad. Her eight-year-old son was also injured during the incident, which sparked controversy and led to Allu Arjun's brief arrest.

In a recent address, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan criticized the producers of the Allu Arjun starrer 'Pushpa 2' for their belated response following a tragic stampede at a theatre in Hyderabad.

The incident claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman and seriously injured her eight-year-old son. Kalyan stressed that a prompt visit to the victim's family might have prevented the ensuing controversy and public distress.

Emphasizing that the law applies to everyone equally, Kalyan remarked that the incident was a painful episode, with tragic consequences for a family that simply wanted to enjoy a movie night out. The subsequent arrest of Arjun by Hyderabad police has deepened the controversy.
