The chaos erupted around 10:30 p.m. when a massive crowd of fans surged towards the theatre, eager to catch a glimpse of the actor Allu Arjun. The sudden influx of people overwhelmed security personnel, leading to a stampede-like situation. In the ensuing chaos, Revathi and her son were caught in the crush, leaving them unconscious.
