Top Telugu actor Allu Arjun has been granted bail in the case where he was booked over the death of a woman in a stampede during the premiere of his latest film 'Pushpa-2'.
A court on Friday granted him regular bail.
The II Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge had earlier reserved the order for today after hearing arguments from the lawyers of the actor and the police.
Ashok Reddy, advocate for Allu Arjun, told the media that the court directed the actor to furnish two sureties, who shall execute bond for ₹50,000 each.
Allu Arjun has to appear before the investigating officer on Sunday, Reddy told reporters.
The actor was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident and released from the jail on December 14 after the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail for four weeks which would end on January 10.
Allu Arjun, who was named as accused no 11 in the case, had earlier filed the regular bail petition in court. He appeared through video conference before the court on December 27.
A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was injured on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when fans jostled to have a glimpse of the actor at the premiere of 'Pushpa 2' movie.
Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on a complaint lodged by the deceased woman's family.
