In a surprise development, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the Pushpa 2 stampede case that claimed the life of a 39-year old woman. The actor, however, got interim bail from the Telangana High Court a day after he was sent to a 14-day judicial custody by a lower court.
Before getting interim bail, Allu Arjun had to spend the night inside the Chanchalguda central prison. The Hyderabad police decided to fix the responsibility for causing the stampede in Sandhya Theatre on Allu Arjun and 10 others without propre security arrangements in place.

A lot of the film's box office earnings in the first weekend can also be attributed to the benefit shows organised by the makers and the hike in ticket prices.
