On being told that a woman died in a stampede during the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2’, an actor allegedly said that the "film will now be a hit", Telangana MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi claimed in the state assembly on Saturday, teeing off a fresh controversy.
A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when thousands of fans jostled to catch a glimpse of actor Allu Arjun at the premiere of the ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, which is a sequel to 2021’s blockbuster film "Pushpa: The Rise".
"I do not want to take the name of that famous filmstar because I do not want to give him that importance. But sir, according to my information, that filmstar went to a theatre to see the movie. He was sitting, there was a commotion, after that the police came and said that there was a stampede, two children fell down, and a woman died. The filmstar smiled and said that the picture is going to be a hit now," said Mr Owaisi, the leader of Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or AIMIM.
