<h2><strong>Allu Arjun to be booked for stampede</strong></h2>

<p>Now, hours after the tragic incident took place, reports suggest&nbsp;that Arjun will be booked for the stampede that resulted in a death and the hospitalisation of another. The police allege that he arrived at the venue without prior intimation to the police which ultimately led to chaos and stampede. The theatre's management will also be booked for not making additional security and crowd management provisions.&nbsp;</p>

However, when the situation got out of control, police personnel resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowds. “The family, which was standing near the theatre entrance, was jostled and pushed down by the crowds. While Bhaskar and his daughter managed to escape with mild injuries, Revanthi and the minor son were trampled by the crowds,” the police official added.</p>

<h2><strong>WION's review of <em>Pushpa 2</em></strong></h2>

<p>In her review, WION's Shomini Sen praised Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil's performance and said, "Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil are in top form. The two match each other so well, and the scenes featuring these two were the film's high points for me. I have been an admirer of Fahadh's work for years but have seen him in mostly arthouse Malayalam films. His over-the-top act in the Pushpa franchise has been a revelation—that the actor is also capable of pulling off roles in such commercial masala potboilers. Matching him is Arjun, who remains true Pushpa. At times the actor seems overdramatic, but yet his compelling performance pulls you in.
