Take a look at the video:
While defending Allu Arjun in the court, his lawyer recalled the Shah Rukh Khan's Raees movie stampede incident. Shah Rukh Khan faced charges after a stampede occurred during a promotional event for his film. This had happened at Vadodara Railway Station in 2017. Pushpa 2: The Rule star's lawyer said that SRK was involved in actions then but Allu Arjun just attended the screening.
He said, "The main question before the court was that is somebody doing a rash or negligent act? In Raees case, the actor threw clothes at the station, which led to a stampede. In that case he was not found criminally liable. However, in this case, the actor was only watching the film. So, it has to be seen if even negligence stands against him."
He also said that the actor was on the first floor and the stampede happened on the ground floor. He said that the actor had no idea that such a stampeded would even take place. Many celebrities like Rashmika Mandanna, Varun Dhawan, Nani, Vivek Oberoi and others have supported Allu Arjun. Chiranjeevi, Rana Daggubati, Pawan Kalyan and other stars have visited Allu Arjun's residence post this incident.
