Pushpa 2 may claim throne of biggest BO hit

The much-awaited sequel to Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 is set to be released on December 5, with Allu Arjun reprising his role as Pushpa Raj. Cinema exhibitors told Business Standard that the movie will be released in 2D, meaning Allu's fans will have to wait to watch it in 3D.

According to a report by Elara Capital, the Sukumar Bandreddi-directed film is set to achieve a global gross BO collection of ₹1,000 crore, with the Hindi version expected to gross ₹500 crore. Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1, released in 2021, grossed ₹400 crore in India. This massive demand could push theatre occupancy to over 40 per cent in December.
