Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 7: Actor Allu Arjun visited KIMS Hospital in Begumpet, Hyderabad, to meet Sri Teja, the child who was critically injured in the tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre. The incident, which took place on December 4, 2024, during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, claimed the life of Revathi and left her son, Sri Teja, in serious condition.
During the visit, Allu Arjun expressed his concern for the injured child, who had been on a ventilator for weeks after the incident. As of December 24, 2024, there were signs of recovery, with Sri Teja reportedly showing responsiveness after being unresponsive for 20 days. His father, Bhaskar, expressed his gratitude to Allu Arjun for his support, saying, “The child responded after 20 days. He is responding today. Allu Arjun and the Telangana government are supporting us.”
In addition to visiting the child, Allu Arjun has been adhering to legal proceedings linked to the chaotic situation. On January 5, 2025, he complied with the conditions set by the Nampally Court by visiting the Chikkadpally Police Station as part of the bail process. The actor had been granted regular bail following the incident, with certain conditions including attending the police station.
On January 4, 2025, Allu Arjun appeared before the Metropolitan Criminal Court at Nampally, where he submitted the required sureties and executed a bond of Rs 50,000. He was met with heightened security as he arrived at the court, where his lawyer confirmed that the actor had been granted bail, clarifying that the incident was not considered “culpable homicide not amounting to murder.” The next hearing for the case is scheduled for January 21, 2025, before the Telangana High Court.
The tragic incident occurred when a massive crowd gathered outside Sandhya Theatre to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun during the Pushpa 2 premiere. As the actor waved to fans from his car’s sunroof, the situation quickly escalated. Revathi lost her life, while Sri Teja sustained severe injuries, leading to his hospitalization. In response to the incident, Allu Arjun provided financial support to the bereaved family. His father, film producer Allu Aravind, also announced a contribution of Rs 2 crore to assist Revathi’s family.
