The actor had reportedly sought permission to attend the hearing virtually, citing shooting commitments in Mumbai. However, the court rejected the request and directed him to appear in person.

The case pertains to the stampede that occurred outside Sandhya Theatre during the premiere screening of Pushpa 2: The Rule, in December 2024, in which a woman lost her life and several others were injured.

Following Allu Arjun’s personal appearance before the court, trial proceedings in the case are expected to commence.

Meanwhile, the hearing is being closely watched given the high profile nature of the case and the involvement of the top actor and other suspect persons.
