A day after Hyderabad Police summoned Telugu actor Allu Arjun for interrogation in connection with the stampede death at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, videos began doing rounds on social media falsely claiming that the stampede occurred before the actor arrived at the theatre.

Allu Arjun's father and veteran producer Allu Aravind, along with Dil Raju and others, visited a private hospital where a boy injured in the stampede is undergoing treatment.

Pushpa 2 stampede case: "Legal action will be taken against those who spread misinformation, especially while the case is still under investigation," said Hyderabad Police.

A 35-year-old woman died during the stampede at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4 and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised.

Allu Arjun’s father Allu Aravind has announced that a sum of Rs. 2 crores will be paid as compensation to the eight-year-old boy Sri Tej who was injured in a stampede outside Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule on 4.

During the screening of 'Pushpa 2' at Sandhya Theater, a tragic stampede led to the death of a woman and critically injured her child. The child, now recovering, received support as Allu Arjun and others contributed ₹2 crore to aid the family.

Allu Aravind revealed that the family has extended financial aid of Rs 2 crore to the boy’s family—Rs 1 crore from Allu Arjun and Rs 50 lakh from the director of Pushpa 2.
