tragic incident during the premiere of Pushpa 2 The Rule at Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad has led to a major decision by the Telangana government. A 36-year-old woman named Revathi lost her life in a stampede, while her 8-year-old son, Sri Tej, is critically injured and on ventilator support.
Government’s Action
To prevent such tragedies in the future, the Telangana government has decided to ban all benefit and fan shows for movies.
Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy announced this decision to ensure public safety at theaters.
What Went Wrong?
The stampede happened when fans gathered in large numbers to see actor Allu Arjun at the premiere. Poor crowd management by the theater staff and lack of security arrangements were blamed for the incident. Both the theater owner and local authorities have faced heavy criticism for failing to control the situation.
This ban on benefit shows will apply to all films, no matter how big or small the production. The government hopes this step will prevent similar accidents in the future.
