Allu Arjun was ‘unnecessarily dragged’ into the Pushpa 2 stampede scandal, according to Boney Kapoor: “The crowd was the only reason for it.”


Filmmaker Boney Kapoor has lent his weight behind Telugu star Allu Arjun in connection with his recent legal troubles linked to the death of a fan at the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. Boney says that Arjun was ‘unnecessarily dragged’ in the case when the death was only due to the large crowd gathered there.

Boney Kapoor has said that it was wrong to drag Allu Arjun in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case, adding that the death of the fan happened due to the crowd.



Boney Kapoor defends Allu Arjun

Speaking at the Galatta Plus roundtable for filmmakers, Boney detailed his introduction to South Indian fans’ mania for the big stars. “When I first saw, Ajith’s film releasing at 1 in the morning. I was shocked to see 20-25k people outside the theatre.

After I came out of the show around 3.30-4am, there were still that many people outside. I am told the same thing happens with films of Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, or present-day stars like Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu,” he said.

Linking it to the incident for which Allu Arjun was arrested, Boney then added, “Ticket rates are inflated on the first two days or at least the first day for extra shows. That is why this situation has arisen where unnecessarily Allu Arjun was dragged and blamed for the death of a fan. It was only because of the crowd that had gathered to see the film.”


What is the Pushpa 2 stampede case

On December 4, the eve of Pushpa 2’s release, a special show of the film was kept for the fans at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre. Arjun reached the theatre himself with co-star Rashmika Mandanna and wife Sneha Reddy.

Police say that due to the star’s presence, crowd gathered at the theatre, leading to a stampede-like situation, which caused the death of a 35-year-old woman. The state government has claimed that Arjun appeared at the theatre despite not being permitted to and refused to leave after being told of the situation. Arjun has denied the allegations.

The actor was arrested last month on the charges of culpable homicide among other things. But he was released the following day after the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail. The case is currently under investigation.

Peddi: Impressive ₹200 Cr Box Office Chase

Peddi Day 8: Will Ram Charan Conquer Box Office Glory?

The film world is holding its breath as the much-anticipated sports action movie refuses to leave the spotlight. Audiences are caught up in a swirl of emotions as the initial box office storm transforms into an intriguing test of actual star power. It’s a fascinating story about ambition, lofty theatrical expectations, and the unexpected nature of moviegoers.

Each ticket sold represents a narrative of passion, commitment, and dramatic cinematic drama. Fans are closely following every update, wondering if this enormous spectacle can retain its beautiful momentum.



The Current Box Office Standing

The film grossed ₹6.30 crore in India on its eighth day. This milestone brings the domestic total to an amazing ₹193.55 crore net.

The aim of joining the prestigious double-century club is now agonisingly close. It’s an exciting countdown that has trade experts and moviegoers absolutely glued to the figures.

The audience’s emotional connection fuels the momentum. Despite natural weekday drops, the local regions are strongly supporting their favourite film idol.


A post-weekend dip is an unavoidable fact for any major movie release in the modern era. The film’s revenue decreased by 16.6 percent from the previous day’s ₹7.55 crore.

This drop has generated heated debates on social media over the long-term viability of big-budget initiatives. However, the continual inflow of viewers demonstrates that the cinematic fire is far from doused.

The dip is a normal market stabilisation following a wildly tumultuous first week. It demonstrates how the initial frenzy transforms into a consistent, long-term theatrical run.

Global Glory And Mighty Milestones

On a worldwide scale, the sports drama paints a truly spectacular picture of financial success. The worldwide gross collection reached ₹279.35 crore.

International markets made a significant contribution to this large global pie. On Thursday, overseas viewers added an additional ₹60 lakhs, bringing the international revenue to ₹49.40 crore.

This pushes the global presence close to the ₹280 crore threshold. It demonstrates the undeniable appeal of large-scale Indian cinema on the global stage.


Regional Strongholds Keep Fighting

The regional market is the undisputed backbone of this incredible box office run. The Telugu territories alone earned ₹5.30 crore on the seventh day.

The film was aggressively screened in a network of 7,412 theatres around the country. The previous version had a reasonable and healthy occupancy rate of 20.35%.

Other regions contributed lesser but significant sums to the overall domestic collection. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu contributed ₹55 lakhs and ₹25 lakhs, respectively.


The North Indian Market Struggle

While the Southern states celebrate, the Hindi-speaking belt has a very different tale. Since its first publication, the Hindi-dubbed version has suffered significant challenges.

The Hindi market today contributes less than five percent of overall domestic earnings. Despite heavy promotion, it is still battling to reach the small net figure of ₹15 crore.

This sharp disparity demonstrates the complexities of managing a truly pan-India release. What causes utter panic in one location may have a peaceful response elsewhere.


Controversies And Creative Corrections

A storm of social media outrage has also harmed the film’s box office performance. Viewers loudly criticised specific sequences featuring Janhvi Kapoor’s role, claiming excessive objectification.

Responding to the growing public outrage, director Buchi Babu Sana took quick corrective action. To avoid offending the viewers, the production team carefully cut out the deceptive shots.

This proactive posture demonstrates a genuine respect for the emotions of modern filmgoers. It remains to be seen how this imaginative change will affect the approaching weekend crowds.

What Lies Directly Ahead

The approaching weekend is a make-or-break moment for this ambitious theatrical project. Crossing the illusive ₹200 crore domestic net mark is the immediate golden goal.

Audiences are curious to see if the fresh modifications will draw a more diverse audience. The large fanbase’s emotional investment will be crucial in this situation.

With new cinematic competition arriving in cinemas, the battle for screens will flare up. This cinematic giant’s genuine resilience will now be put to the ultimate test.
