As per the report of The Siasat Daily, his father told the media that his son was opening his eyes, but he still couldn’t recognize his family members. He said the doctors at KIMS thought his son was rehabilitation center for better care. Bhaskar said that his daughter keeps asking where her mother is. He tells her that her mother went to the village and will soon be back. Bhaskar said that the KIMS staff never talked to him about bills during Sri Tej’s treatment or when he was leaving the hospital. He further added that the state government and the makers of the movie ‘Pushpa 2’ helped the family throughout.

While people are thanking the movie producer and doctors at KIMS for saving the boy’s life, not much credit has been given to the police officers. They were the first ones to help, giving the boy CPR during the critical first hour and quickly taking him to the hospital. It can be remembered that the stampede became a big political issue between the state government and the Tollywood film industry. The Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, blamed Allu Arjun for Revathi’s death while talking in the assembly after the stampede. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao supported Tollywood at that time. He had also criticized the state government for arresting Allu Arjun, even though he was released on bail quickly.
