Owaisi said, “As per my information, the film star went to the theatre, the stampede occurred, and he continued watching the film. Later, policemen went to him and informed him that a lady had died and two kids were injured in the stampede. The film star reportedly said, ‘Now the movie will be a hit.’ People say that he left the theatre by waving to the audience even after realizing the incident.”
Owaisi accused Allu Arjun of not caring about the stampede or the lady who died but instead returning to his vehicle and waving to the public again.
