A court on Friday granted regular bail to Telugu actor Allu Arjun, an accused in the case of death of a woman in a stampede here during the premiere of his latest film 'Pushpa-2'.

The Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge had earlier reserved the order for Friday after hearing arguments from the lawyers of the actor and the police.
