The question of whether pre-release events and premiere shows are necessary has sparked a debate. Some feel that such events are more about publicity rather than truly benefiting the fans.
However, there are huge concerns about whether these events are putting fans’ lives at risk. Without proper security measures, such incidents could lead to even more alarming situations.

On top of that, criminal cases are being filed against the heroes, the makers, and their teams. No hero will dare to organize or attend such events and take the risk of going to jail if some unfortunate accident happens. It is totally not worth it.
Some producers are reportedly shifting their focus from public events to private, controlled ones. Managing the crowd outside theaters has become increasingly difficult for the police and event organizers.

There are now discussions about canceling premiere shows or enforcing stricter regulations at public pre-release events. This could also mean that even though stars wish to connect closely with their fans, security reasons may force them to keep their distance in the future.
While fans are important not just for promotions but as close individuals, the risks involved in meeting them are now making stars reconsider their approach.
It’s clear that Tollywood’s top producers, directors, and actors are rethinking their strategies.
Moving forward, prioritizing security before large events, or even opting for private events, seems to be the way ahead.
However, the current climate suggests that stepping out in public may soon become a cautious, anxiety-filled decision for stars.
It can be said that Allu Arjun has distanced not just himself but also other heroes from their fans due to the Pushpa 2 stampede incident. He has ripped stars apart from their fans.
