On January 3, 2025, the Nampally court granted Allu Arjun regular bail, allowing him to continue his professional commitments while adhering to specific conditions set by the court.

As part of these conditions, Allu Arjun is required to submit a bail bond of ₹50,000 and provide two sureties for the same amount. Additionally, he must report to the investigating officer every Sunday between 10 am and 1 pm for two months or until the charge sheet is filed.

"Petitioner shall not hamper the investigation in any manner nor shall directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any witness so as to dissuade them from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer," the court said.

The petitioner (Allu Arjun) shall cooperate with the investigation and he shall not make any attempt to interfere with the ongoing investigation or with the witnesses, in any manner, the court order further said.

Allu Arjun shall not change his Jubilee Hills residential address without prior intimation to the court, till disposal of the case. He was directed not to leave India without prior permission from the court.

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.

The court's ruling came after Allu Arjun's lawyer argued that he had no direct involvement in the stampede incident and that the charges against him were unjustified.

Allu Arjun's lawyer stated, “The court was convinced that this was not a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.”

Following the stampede on December 4, which saw fans jostling for a glimpse of Allu Arjun as he waved from his car's sunroof, police registered a case against him, his security team, and theatre management under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). However, it has been suggested that the police may have been scapegoating Allu Arjun to divert attention from their own lapses in ensuring crowd safety.
