Hyderabad: The highly anticipated Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, is set for a spectacular release on December 5, 2024. Directed by Sukumar and featuring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, the Pan-Indian action drama is poised to break records, with trade experts predicting it could join the elite Rs 1000 crore club.
The buzz around the sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise is immense. However, industry insiders reveal that the movie needs to secure a distributor share of Rs 212 crores from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone to break even. Achieving this ambitious target depends heavily on unanimous positive reviews and the success of ticket rate hikes.
The film’s team is reportedly negotiating significant ticket price hikes in both Telugu states. It remains to be seen whether these price rises will apply only for the opening weekend or for an extended 10-day window. For comparison, recent big-ticket releases like NTR’s Devara secured substantial hikes, sparking speculation about whether Pushpa 2 can surpass them.
With massive expectations and a loyal fan base, Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to make waves, reinforcing Allu Arjun’s position as a global superstar.
