Hyderabad: Pushpa producers Mythri Movie Makers on Monday donated Rs 50 lakhs to the family of Revathi, who died in the stampede on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre during the screening of the movie. Revathi's son, 9-year-old Sri Tej, who was also injured in the stampede, is currently undergoing treatment at a corporate hospital in the city.
Mythri Movie Makers, one of the producers Naveen Yerneni, along with state cinematography minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy visited the hospital in Secunderabad and handed over a cheque of Rs 50 lakhs to Revathi's husband M Bhaskar.
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has urged the opposition to stop politicizing the incident that took place at the Sandhya Theatre. The producers enquired about the health condition of Sri Tej from the doctors. Yerneni said that Revathi's death in the stampede was very painful and an irreparable loss to her family.
Venkat Reddy also condemned the attack on Allu Arjun's house by a group of people. He said that it is not right to attack the houses of film stars and producers or to personally abuse them. He warned that if such actions continue, there will be consequences and suggested they stop trying to take the law into their own hands. He added that they will encourage and promote the film industry in Telangana in all possible ways. He explained that the Telangana government has a positive attitude towards the film industry, and that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is constantly enquiring about the incident.
He lashed out at Union ministers Bandi Sanjay, G Kishan Reddy, and BRS working president K T Rama Rao for trying to politicize this issue. The minister revealed that Sri Tej's health condition is still critical, and it will take a long time for him to recover.
