The stampede happened on December 4, 2024, when a huge crowd had gathered outside Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre for a special screening of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The gathering reportedly turned into a stampede, and led to the death of a woman named Revathi and leaving her son, Sritej, seriously injured.
