Telangana bans actor visits and benefit shows after "Pushpa 2" premiere stampede kills one.

The Telangana government has banned actor visits and benefit shows ahead of movie releases following a stampede at the "Pushpa 2" premiere that killed a woman and injured her son. Minister Venkat Reddy promised to cover the family's medical expenses and provide compensation. Despite the ban, the government will continue to offer incentives to the film industry and has not raised cinema ticket prices, with the exception of "Pushpa 2: The Rule." The government also criticized actor Allu Arjun for failing to fulfill his compensation pledge and conducting unauthorized roadshows.
