The entire controversy stems from a stampede at a theatre in Hyderabad during screening of Pushpa 2 which was attended by the actor.

Representatives from the Telugu film industry including, Allu Aravind, Venkatesh Daggubati, Varun Tej and others will meet Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy today. This comes after the Chief Minister's dig at the industry in Allu Arjun stampede case.

Allu Arjun had announced Rs 1 crore as compensation while Pushpa director Sukumar and producers have contributed 50 lakhs each as a goodwill gesture to the boy who has been recovering. Allu Aravind visited the hospital on Wednesday and stated that he is pleased to know Sri Tej has been recovering.

According to Sacnilk's report, Pushpa 2 made a collection of Rs. 1109.85 Crore at the India Net box office. When talked particularly about Hindi box office collection, Pushpa 2 grossed Rs. 716.65 Crore. On Christmas (December 25), Pushpa 2 earned Rs. 15 Crore in Hindi language. A hike of around 30% was seen on Day 21 (Wednesday).

Pushpa 2 continues to dominate the box office, raking in ₹16.82 crore on Christmas. It is the second biggest grosser in India, behind Baahubali 2.

The Rule, Varun Dhawan-starrer Baby John failed to churn out big on its opening day. On the Christmas Day holiday, even the dubbed Hindi version of Allu Arjun-starrer outshined Varun's film in terms of box office figures.

Kartik Aaryan chatted with the paparazzi during an outing on Wednesday evening, when the photographers complimented him on his new look.

One of the key questions posed to Allu Arjun was whether any senior police officers, such as the ACP or DCP, had approached him during the screening to inform him about the incident.
