Actor Allu Arjun visited KIMS Hospital in Begumpet, Hyderabad, on Tuesday to meet Sri Teja, the child who was severely injured during the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theatre. Sri Teja is currently undergoing treatment following the incident, which occurred during the premiere of Allu Arjun's latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Allu Arjun’s hospital visit to meet the Sandhya Theatre stampede victim, Sri Teja, was captured in several videos and images shared widely on social media. In one clip, the actor is seen entering the hospital wearing a green sweater and black pants, accompanied by his team.
During the visit, Telangana State Film Development Corporation (FDC) Chairman Dil Raju was also present. To ensure security during the visit, the hospital had increased measures. Allu Arjun had initially planned to visit on January 5, but the schedule was later cancelled.
The police had earlier issued a notice to the actor regarding his visit, urging him to keep it confidential to maintain public order around the hospital. Necessary arrangements for his visit were also promised by the police.
Allu Arjun had previously expressed his deep concern for the boy and his health. He had hoped to meet Sri Teja and his family but was advised against it due to the ongoing legal proceedings.
Regarding Sri Teja’s condition, positive news emerged on December 24, 2024, when the child reportedly showed signs of recovery after being unresponsive for 20 days. Sri Teja’s father, Bhaskar, thanked both Allu Arjun and the Telangana government for their support, expressing relief at his son's response after two weeks in critical care.
The Sandhya Theatre stampede took place on December 4, 2024, as fans gathered for a chance to see Allu Arjun during the Pushpa 2 premiere. The incident tragically resulted in the death of a woman, Revathi, and serious injuries to her eight-year-old son. Following the incident, a case was filed against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management at the Chikkadpally police station based on a complaint from the deceased woman's family.
On December 13, Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the case, but the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail the next day. On January 3, he was granted regular bail by a city court. The actor is now listed as accused number 11 in the case.
