Allu Arjun's Grandmother Allu Kanakaratnam's Last Rites
Allu Kanakaratnam's last rites will be held this afternoon at Kokapet. Members of the Allu-Konidela family are arriving at Allu Aravind’s residence to pay their last respects.
Allu Kanakaratnam's family is yet to issue a statement.
Last December, when Allu Arjun returned home after spending a night in jail in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case, his grandmother was seen getting emotional and performing a ritual to ward off the evil eye.
The incident occurred when the actor visited the theater for a special premiere of Pushpa 2 on December 4, which led to a massive stampede outside. Tragically, a woman was trampled to death, and her minor son was gravely injured.
The actor then hugged his grandmother and walked inside his house along with her.
