The stampede occurred around 10:30 pm as Revathi, her husband, and their two children were leaving the theatre. The chaos reportedly broke out as fans rushed to catch a glimpse of the Pushpa actor. Witnesses and attendees stated that the police attempted to control the surging crowd with a mild lathi charge. Despite their efforts, the area had to be cordoned off, and additional security forces were called to manage the situation.
Revathi and her son were rescued by security personnel, who administered CPR before transporting them to a nearby hospital. The child was later shifted to a specialised medical facility, where he remains in critical condition. Revathi, however, succumbed to her injuries. Her post-mortem examination will be conducted at Gandhi Hospital.
