A screening of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' at Mumbai's Gaiety Galaxy theatre, came to an abrupt halt after an alleged pepper spray incident disrupted the audience.
According to IANS, a chaotic scene unfolded post-interval, where a gass, believed to be pepper spray was sprayed inside the cinema hall, forcing the show to be stopped for approximately 20 minutes. An unidentified individual allegedly sprayed pepper spray causing people present at the screening to cough profusely. Reports indicated others also complained of throat irritation, and nausea, with some visibly distressed and struggling to breathe. A video circulating online captures the commotion, showing the audience leaving their seats as they headed for the exit.
