Tollywood actor Allu Arjun visited the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) on Tuesday morning to check on a nine-year-old boy who was seriously injured during a stampede at the December 4 premiere of Pushpa 2. The incident also claimed the life of the boy’s mother, M. Revathi, at Sandhya Theatre.
Arjun, recently granted bail in connection with the stampede case, spent about 10 minutes with the boy’s father, M. Bhasker, expressing condolences and inquiring about the boy’s condition. Bhasker shared that his son’s recovery has been slow. Doctors treating the boy reported that while his vital signs are stable and he is tolerating nasogastric feeds, he remains in a coma-like state with intermittent eye opening and crying, but no consistent response to stimuli.
Arjun assured Bhasker of his support and reflected on the boy’s admiration for him, recalling how he mimicked the actor’s iconic Pushpa dialogue at home. Tragically, the boy was unconscious during the actor’s visit.
This was Arjun’s second attempt to visit the boy. His earlier visit, planned for January 5, was canceled following police advice due to security concerns. The police later coordinated with hospital authorities to ensure a confidential and disruption-free visit.The actor has faced scrutiny over his role in the stampede incident but remains committed to supporting the injured boy and his family during their recovery journey.
