Amid the controversy surrounding Allu Arjun’s involvement in the stampede case, the production house behind Pushpa 2 has come out to support the victim’s family. Mythri Movie Makers has extended significant support to the family of Revathi, the 35-year-old woman who died during the screening of the film in Hyderabad. The incident occurred on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre. While Revathi lost her life, her eight-year-old son has been struggling at KIMS hospital after sustaining injuries.

Allu Arjun announced Rs 25 Lakhs
Earlier, Allu Arjun had announced financial assistance of Rs 25 lakhs to support Revathi’s family. Director Sukumar and his wife Tabitha, donated Rs 5 lakhs, while producers Allu Aravind and Bunny Vasulu assured the family of their unwavering support.
Following the complaint filed by the victim’s family, Allu Arjun was arrested in the stampede case and sent to 14-day judicial custody. However, he was later granted four-week interim bail by the Telangana High Court a day later. The family holds the actor’s security team and theatre management responsible under different sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for the incident.
