Revathi, a 39-year-old resident of Dilsukhnagar, attended the premiere with her husband Bhaskar and their two children!
The much-anticipated premiere of Pushpa 2 in Hyderabad took a tragic turn on December 4, when a stampede outside Sandhya Theatre on RTC Cross Roads resulted in the death of a woman and left her young son critically injured. The chaotic incident unfolded as fans flocked in massive numbers to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun, who made a surprise appearance at the event.
Revathi, a 39-year-old resident of Dilsukhnagar, attended the premiere with her husband Bhaskar and their two children, nine-year-old Sri Tej and seven-year-old Sanvika. The family was among the thousands of fans present at the venue. When Allu Arjun arrived, the crowd surged towards the entrance, creating a stampede-like situation. Amid the chaos, Revathi and her son were caught in the frenzy and lost consciousness.
Emergency services were called to the scene, and both were rushed to Durga Bhai Deshmukh Hospital in Vidyanagar. Tragically, Revathi was pronounced dead on arrival. Her son, Sri Tej, who sustained critical injuries, was later transferred to KIMS Hospital in Begumpet for advanced medical care. Revathi’s body was moved to Gandhi Mortuary for further procedures. The incident occurred around 10:30 PM, with the police struggling to control the swelling crowd outside the theatre. Despite heavy security and police presence, the enthusiasm of the fans spiralled out of control, leading to the tragic stampede.
Allu Arjun, who briefly interacted with fans, was seen leaving the venue under tight security. He urged the crowd to disperse and allow traffic to resume, but the damage had already been done.
