Pushpa 2: The controversy
Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings are the producers of Pushpa 2, with the film’s music on T-Series. During the movie's closing credits, a third Pushpa movie, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, was revealed.
The film and its lead star, Allu Arjun, became embroiled in controversy after a tragic incident on December 4 at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre. During the film's premiere, a stampede-like situation occurred as fans scrambled to catch a glimpse of the actor, resulting in the death of a 35-year-old woman named Revathi and injuries to her eight-year-old son.
The actor was arrested on December 13 and initially placed in 14-day judicial custody by a local Hyderabad court. However, he was granted interim bail for four weeks by the Telangana High Court on December 14. The interim bail is set to expire on January 10.
