Pushpa 2: The Rule's success was marred by a stampede during its premiere. Rashmika Mandanna expressed support for co-star Allu Arjun after he was briefly arrested following the tragic incident.
Pushpa 2: The Rule is indeed enjoying a phenomenal run in theaters. Since its premiere, the movie has received a lot of positive reviews from all directions and has drawn large crowds to theatres, demonstrating the power of engaging subject matter. Even though the movie is smashing box office records, it became a talking point because of an unexpected stampede that happened in a theatre during its premiere, when the cast was also present.
On Friday evening, Allu Arjun was arrested after a tragic occurrence in which a woman was killed in the rush. However, hours later, Telangana High Court granted him interim bail.
As the entire nation rallies in support of the actor, his co-star Rashmika Mandanna, aka Srivalli, also voiced her solidarity. Rashmika took to social media to express her support for her Pushpa 2: The Rule co-star, Allu Arjun, and wrote:
"I can’t believe what I am seeing right now.. The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident. However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking."
