Pushpa 2 makers donate Rs 50 lakh to Hyderabad stampede victim's family

In a compassionate gesture, the production team behind the much-anticipated film Pushpa 2 has donated Rs 50 lakh to the family of Revathi, who tragically lost her life during a stampede at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre on December 4. The incident also left her eight-year-old son injured, who is currently receiving treatment at a private super-specialty hospital in the city.

Producer Naveen Yerneni, representing Mythri Movie Makers, handed over the cheque to Revathi's husband, Bhaskar, during a visit to KIMS Hospital. The visit was also attended by Minister Komati Reddy.

Earlier, renowned actor Allu Arjun had pledged Rs 25 lakh to support Sri Tej’s family, and director Sukumar, along with his wife Tabitha, contributed an additional Rs 5 lakh. Producers Allu Aravind and Bunny Vasulu have also committed to providing ongoing support to the family.

In a related development, Allu Arjun was briefly detained following the stampede but was granted a four-week interim bail by the Telangana High Court. Legal actions have been initiated against the actor, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
