The screening of South Indian superstar Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa 2: Da Roll has turned into a mourning for fans due to a tragic accident.
According to Indian media, on the occasion of the screening of the film at a theater in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening, the film’s actors including Allu Arjun arrived at the screening where thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse. The main door of the theater collapsed due to the pressure of the crowd, causing a stampede.
In this tragic incident, a 35-year-old woman died while her 9-year-old son was seriously injured, who is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital. The police resorted to lathi-charge to control the crowd, which worsened the situation, and additional personnel had to be called for.
