December 14, 2024: Telugu superstar Allu Arjun returned home to his family in Hyderabad on Saturday morning after being granted interim bail in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. The star spent a night in jail before returning home.
The actor had been arrested just a day earlier, following an unfortunate incident during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 4, which led to a fatal stampede at the theatre.

Upon his arrival at his Jubilee Hills residence, a visibly relieved Allu Arjun addressed his supporters, saying, “Nothing to worry, I am doing well. I am deeply thankful to all my fans for their unwavering support. As a law-abiding citizen, I will fully cooperate with the authorities. My deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased. The incident was completely unintentional, and I deeply regret what happened.”
In a poignant moment, Arjun’s wife, Sneha Reddy, was seen visibly emotional as she embraced her husband, who had been through an intense ordeal. Their son, Allu Ayaan, had also eagerly awaited his father’s return early that Saturday.

Allu Arjun’s Emotional Reunion with family
The Telangana High Court granted the actor interim bail on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 late on Friday night. This came after the Hyderabad police had filed charges against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management. The case followed the tragic death of 39-year-old Revathi, who was killed in the stampede, while her 8-year-old son sustained injuries.
Despite the charges, Allu Arjun‘s loyal fanbase rallied in his support, with the hashtag #WeStandForAlluArjun trending across social media platforms. Celebrities from across the entertainment industry also voiced their solidarity with the actor during this challenging time.
This case has taken a dramatic turn since Friday when Arjun was arrested and later remanded to judicial custody. However, with the High Court’s intervention, the actor has been granted temporary relief as the investigation continues.
The star’s supporters were out in full force outside his home, celebrating his return and offering a show of strength as they cheered their beloved actor. Allu Arjun’s message to his fans was clear: “Thank you for your constant faith and love.”
