A popular actor in southern India has been released from jail on bail, a day after he was arrested by police in connection with a stampede that led to the death of a woman at the premiere of his movie earlier this month.

Actor Allu Arjun was arrested and charged with culpable homicide after a deadly stampede at his film's premiere. He was granted interim bail, with the victim's family stating Arjun wasn't responsible.

The Rule co-star Rashmika Mandanna is deeply saddened by the sudden and shocking events of today. Allu Arjun was arrested earlier today over an FIR filed by the deceased fan`s family. The fan died due to the stampede that occurred at the premiere of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad.

An actor is not in charge of safety protocols and can't be blamed for an unfortunate incident, said Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan on Friday, hours after Telugu superstar Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with a woman's death at a promotional event of his latest movie.

Rashmika Mandanna has reacted to Allu Arjun being arrested in connection with the Pushpa 2 stampede row. In a strongly-worded post, the 'Kodava Beauty' said that it is not right to blame one person for the tragedy.
