Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkatreddy has demanded that Allu Arjun pay Rs 20 crore to the family of Revathi, who died in the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theatre during the Pushpa 2 premiere on December 4. The incident, which occurred after the actor's car procession drew a large crowd, resulted in Revathi's death and her son's critical condition.

Minister Komatireddy accused Allu Arjun of ignoring police warnings and attending the event, despite being advised against it. He stated, "If they can boast about earning thousands of crores from their films, why can't they pay Rs 20 crore as compensation to the grieving family?"

This demand follows criticism from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and police officials, who hold Allu Arjun responsible for the tragedy, further fueling the controversy surrounding the incident.
