The Sandhya Theater stampede during the screening of Pushpa 2 has become a new headache for Allu Arjun.

Allu Arjun was arrested by Hyderabad police and spent a day in jail before being granted bail. Reports now indicate that the police have summoned him to appear in court on December 24, 2024, for further questioning. The Telangana government is actively working to revoke the star's bail.
Anticipating this, Allu Arjun held a press interaction after the Chief Minister directly criticized him, escalating tensions. The Telangana government is reportedly upset with the Pushpa 2 star and insists that he face legal consequences.
Tensions have risen at Allu Arjun's residence after a group of students attacked his property, causing damage. The situation continues to deteriorate, and further developments are expected in the coming days. There are also reports suggesting Allu Arjun could face re-arrest in connection with the stampede.
