A similar incident happened in 2010 when a 42-year-old man in Taiwan died of a heart attack while watching Avatar.
As James Cameron-directed Avatar: The Way of Water continues to break records at the global box office, a piece of sad news has come in from Andhra Pradesh where a man has died of a heart attack while watching the film at a theatre in the Kakinada district.
The man has been identified as Lakshmireddy Srinu who went to watch Avatar 2 with his brother Raju at a theatre in Peddapuram. Srinu collapsed while watching the film and his brother immediately rushed him to the Peddapuram Government Hospital, where the doctors declared him brought dead.
A similar incident happened in 2010 when a 42-year-old man suffered a heart attack while watching the prequel Avatar, as per the reports of the news agency Agence France Presse. The report added that man had a history of high blood pressure and "over-excitement from watching the movie" led to his death.
Avatar followed a paraplegic marine Jake Sully, played by Worthington, who becomes an unlikely champion for the Na'vi, the 10-foot-tall and blue-skinned, sapient humanoids, in their fight for survival. The sequel sees Sully and Saldana's Neytiri doing everything they can to keep their family together.
Avatar was a colossal success, becoming Cameron's second movie after Titanic to raise over 2 billion dollars at the box office. It is currently the highest-grossing movie of all time and adjusted for inflation, the second-highest-grossing movie of all time after Gone with the Wind.
