Chaos unfolded at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on Sunday as crowds surged during the promotional event for “Pushpa 2: The Rule”, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna.
A section of the audience breached barricades and threw slippers and shoes when they were unable to get closer to the stars.
Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rajeev Mishra denied reports of a police lathi charge, stating, “Only a group of people who had come to watch the event and tried to cross the barricade were removed. An adequate number of security personnel have been deployed at Gandhi Maidan.”
The event, which also featured the release of the film’s trailer, attracted massive crowds, causing a stampede-like situation before it officially began. Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh assured the public that the situation was under control.
Arjun lauds fans
Arjun, who is visiting Bihar for the first time, expressed his gratitude to fans, saying, “I am grateful to all of you for your love and warm welcome.”
He referenced his iconic dialogue from the first Pushpa film, adding, “Pushpa kabhi jhukega nahin, lekin aaj pehli baar, aapke pyaar ke liye jhukega.”
Scheduled for release worldwide on December 5, “Pushpa 2: The Rule” is directed by Sukumar and stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, the film’s music is on T-Series.
