Allu Arjun's much-awaited film Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to hit theaters on December 5, and the excitement surrounding its release is nothing short of extraordinary. The film, which is the sequel to the massive hit Pushpa: The Rise, is already creating history even before its official release, particularly with its groundbreaking pre-release numbers.
The film is set to grace more than 500 screens in Kerala alone, which is a significant achievement for a Telugu movie. The enthusiasm from Malayali audiences, who have always been big supporters of Allu Arjun, is evident. This wide release in Kerala has made Pushpa 2 the largest opening for any Telugu superstar in the state, with the film already crossing the Rs 2 crore mark in pre-sales. This achievement is setting the stage for what is expected to be a record-breaking launch for the film.
Allu Arjun, who has a massive fan base in Kerala, shared his gratitude with fans at the pre-release event in Kochi. He affectionately referred to his supporters as "Mallu Arjun" and expressed a deep connection with the region, saying, "When we got down from the flight, I told my crew, ‘Welcome to my land.’"
In terms of global pre-sales, Pushpa 2 has made history by accumulating over Rs 100 crore in advance bookings. The movie has seen a remarkable Rs 30 crore in pre-sales from international markets, while domestic sales have crossed Rs 70 crore. This makes Pushpa 2 the second Indian film of 2024 to cross Rs 100 crore in advance ticket sales, following Kalki 2898 AD. This milestone places Pushpa 2 ahead of some of the biggest Indian films of all time, including Baahubali 2, KGF: Chapter 2, and RRR, all of which previously held records for advance ticket sales.
Industry analysts predict a massive opening for the film, with estimates suggesting a gross of over Rs 200 crore in India alone, and a worldwide total potentially exceeding Rs 300 crore. With these figures, Pushpa 2 is set to become one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule picks up where the first film left off, continuing the gripping story of Pushpa Raj (played by Allu Arjun). The film dives deeper into his ongoing conflict with the ruthless IPS officer Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil. The emotional stakes are higher than ever, and the action is set to be even more intense.
In addition to Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil, the movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Prathap Bhandari, Ajay Ghosh, Dhananjaya, and others in pivotal roles. The film’s Kerala-style song "Peelings," though it has received mixed reactions, showcases Allu Arjun’s love for Kerala and its culture.
Pushpa 2 is not just a regional success but a global phenomenon. Set to release in over 12,000 screens worldwide, the film’s massive advance sales reflect the excitement that stretches far beyond India. The film is set to make waves both domestically and internationally, and its success will likely rewrite box office history.
With Allu Arjun’s star power, Sukumar’s visionary direction, and a gripping narrative, Pushpa 2: The Rule is shaping up to be a cinematic experience that will leave audiences eagerly anticipating its every twist and turn.
