It followed a disastrous stampede that was witnessed in December 2024 while promoting Pushpa 2: The Rule, which resulted in the death of one and caused severe injuries. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy demanded actor Allu Arjun be taken into custody, mentioning shock appearances and chaos erupting because of his visit. Some would point fingers at celebrities for this kind of event, and others would place the blame on event management and security. The question has arisen in the legal, social, and safety issues about how to regulate large public gatherings concerning celebrities, event organizers, and law enforcement.
