What happened at Pushpa 2: The Rule screening in Hyderabad?

Thousands of fans gathered outside Sandhya Theatre to see Allu Arjun and watch Pushpa 2: The Rule alongside him. The actor’s arrival caused chaos as the excited crowd surged forward to catch a glimpse, leading to a near-stampede, according to a police official. The incident occurred at the Sandhya 70 mm theatre at RTC Cross Roads near Musheerabad around 10 pm.
