The tensions leading to the protest stemmed from the Sandhya Theatre tragedy. It occurred during the premiere of Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 4, 2024. This tragic event resulted in the death of a woman named Revathi and injuries to her child. This prompted public outcry and demands for accountability. The CM of Telangana, Revanth Reddy previously stated that police denied permission for the event due to safety concerns. However, Allu Arjun attended, which exacerbated the situation.
