Allu
Arjun’s
huge
release,
Pushpa:
The
Rule,
has
attracted
fans
to
theatres
in
hordes.
The
6
am
show
in
Thane
saw
a
mixed
crowd
of
enthusiasts.
The
security
staff
were
asked
to
report
two
hours
before
their
regular
time
to
ensure
smooth
scanning
of
the
audience.

Bhagyashree,
a
young
fan
of
Allu
Arjun,
had
pre-booked
tickets
as
soon
as
it
was
available
online.
“I
live
in
Airoli
(almost
14
km
from
Thane)
and
this
was
the
earliest
show
available
near
me.
So
I
travelled
here.
“My
dad
is
a
Maharashtrian,
mum
is
a
South
Indian.
I
have
grown
up
watching
Telugu
films.
My
dream
is
to
do
a
film
with
Allu
Arjun
one
day,
even
if
it
is
a
small
cameo.
So
I
am
trying
to
lose
weight
in
my
office
gym,”
she
said
excitedly
as
we
walked
up
the
escalator
leading
to
the
movie
hall.
A
group
of
boys
from
different
parts
of
Telengana
had
visited
the
theatre
the
previous
day
to
confirm
their
tickets.
“We
have
waited
three
years
for
this
movie,
so
didn’t
want
to
miss
(the
first
show),”
one
of
them
named
Suman
said.

Meanwhile,
Vijayawada
in
Andhra
Pradesh,
saw
fans
gather
outside
the
Sailaja
Theatre
to
celebrate
the
much-awaited
release.
Fans
burst
crackers
and
created
a
festive
atmosphere
outside
the
cinema
hall.
The
scene
was
even
crazier
in
a
theatre
in
Hyderabad
when
Allu
Arjun
came
by!
Fans
thronged
near
him,
and
the
security
had
hard
time
keeping
him
safe.
The
crowd
jostled
so
hard
in
fact,
that
it
did
not
end
well
for
a
woman
in
Hyderabad,
and
she
died.
Watch
the
crazy
reception
Allu
Arjun
got!
