Actor Allu Arjun on Tuesday visited the boy, who is undergoing treatment at a KIMS hospital in Secunderabad after suffering serious injury in a stampede at the premiere of his latest film Pushpa 2.

Earlier, Arjun was scheduled to visit the hospital on January 5 but the plan was cancelled. Actor spent about 15 minutes there enquiring about the health condition of the eight-year-old boy Sritej, sources said.

During the actor's visit to the hospital, producer and Telangana Film Development Corporation chairman Dil Raju, was also present. Police made heavy security arrangements at the hospital to prevent any untoward incidents during the actor Allu Arjun's visit.

The SHO of Ramgopalpet Police Station had issued a notice to Arjun regarding his proposed visit to the hospital and advised him to keep it confidential so that public order could be maintained in and around the hospital.

The actor is named as accused No 11 in the case filed after a woman died and her eight-year-old son sustained serious injuries in the stampede on December 4.

A medical bulletin released by the hospital on Tuesday said Sritej is maintaining his vital parameters well without any extraneous support. He has remained afebrile (not having fever) for the last few days, his antibiotics have been stopped, it said. He continues to tolerate nasogastric feeds well and is receiving supportive therapies, it added.

"Sritej's agitative episodes and dystonia have reduced but are still present. His sensorium remains the same with intermittent spontaneous eye opening and crying without meaningful eye contact or consistent response to verbal stimuli," the hospital said in a health update.
