Chaos in Mumbai Theatre: Pushpa 2 Show Interrupted by Pepper Spray Incident

The highly anticipated film Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and directed by Sukumar, released globally to massive fanfare. Garnering a superhit talk from the very first show, the movie has achieved record-breaking collections on its opening day, surpassing even Bollywood superstars' benchmarks.

However, an unexpected incident disrupted the screening at Galaxy Theatre in Bandra, Mumbai.

During the interval, an unidentified individual used pepper spray inside the theatre, causing chaos among the audience. Many viewers struggled to breathe and rushed out coughing. This led to the organizers halting the show for approximately 20 minutes to neutralize the effects of the spray. The screening resumed once the situation was under control.

Both the theatre management and some affected viewers filed complaints with the police. Following the reports, the police registered a case and detained some suspects for questioning. Speculations suggest the act may have been a deliberate attempt to disrupt the film's screening due to personal grudges against Pushpa 2.
