The grand success of Pushpa 2 at the box office has been overshadowed by a tragic incident during its screening at Sandhya Theatre, Hyderabad. A stampede occurred after Allu Arjun attended the event, leading to the death of a woman and critical injuries to her 8-year-old son, Sri Tej.
Reports reveal that Sri Tej is in a critical condition, suffering from severe brain damage. He is currently on a ventilator, and doctors have expressed concerns about his recovery.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C.V. Anand, after visiting the boy in the hospital, stated that the brain damage resulted from a lack of oxygen during the stampede. He explained that the recovery process would be prolonged as the brain needs time to regain its ability to process and analyze signals effectively.
