Meanwhile, Telangana State Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman and leading producer Dil Raju said a delegation of film personalities would call on Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Thursday to foster healthy relations between the government and the film industry.
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.
Allu Aravind expressed relief after speaking to the doctors, who informed them that the boy is recovering and can now breathe on his own.
The doctors remain optimistic about his full recovery.
He announced that Allu Arjun (₹1 crore), Pushpa production company Mytri Movie Makers (₹50 lakh), and the film’s director Sukumar (
₹50 lakh) have extended financial assistance to support the boy’s family.
Aravind handed over the cheques to Dil Raju, requesting him to convey it to the boy’s family.
He explained that legal constraints prevented direct interaction with the family without prior clearance.
A 35-year-old woman died during the stampede at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4 where ‘Pushpa 2’ movie was screened and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised.
Following the incident, a case was registered against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on a complaint by the deceased woman’s family.
The city police arrested Allu Arjun in connection with the death of the woman on December 13.
The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day and he was released from a prison here on December 14 morning.
