Allu Arjun is planning to set up a trust fund for Sri Teja, the victim of the Sandhya Theatre stampede. On December 4, the actor attended a special screening of his actioner along with his family when his fans went into a frenzy. The crowd got out of control and that led to a stampede. A 35-year-old woman Revathy lost her life in the tragic accident and her son Sri Teja got seriously injured and was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad. Since then, Allu Arjun has been in constant touch with the family and the young boy. He had earlier promised a compensation of ₹25 Crore for the family of the victim and has now decided to set up a fund for the young boy, as per our sources.
