Allu Arjun, released on bail after the tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre, received support from industry peers and family

Close family, friends and Tollywood colleagues met actor Allu Arjun at his residence after he was released from Chanchalguda Central jail on bail granted by Telangana High Court following his arrest a day ago in connection with the tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre. The actor was arrested following the death of a woman during the premiere of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 4.

Allu Arjun was granted bail after submitting a personal bond of Rs 50,000. The release was met with support from several industry peers and his family members, who gathered at his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, to stand by him. His father-in-law, Kancharla Chandrasekhar Reddy, arrived to offer support, followed by his father, Allu Arvind, who also visited the actor.

Other prominent figures from the film industry, including actor Vijay Deverakonda, producer Dil Raju, and director Koratala Siva, were seen arriving at the actor's home. The star's legal team had earlier contested his arrest, leading to his release after spending a night in jail.

The incident that led to Allu Arjun's arrest occurred during a chaotic scene at the Sandhya Theatre on December 4, when the actor arrived to attend the premiere of his latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. A large crowd had gathered to catch a glimpse of the star, and the situation quickly escalated when Allu Arjun waved to the fans from the sunroof of his vehicle.

Police allege that this action contributed to the chaos that ensued, leading to the death of a woman named Revathi, while her son suffered injuries. According to authorities, the actor's security team was responsible for pushing the crowd to clear the path for the actor's vehicle. Despite being informed about the danger of the large crowd, police claim that Allu Arjun's team did not take prompt action to mitigate the situation.
