After the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise, starring Icon star Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, fans are eagerly waiting for its sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule. Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa: The Rise was released in 2021 and became a massive success at the box office.
Speculations were rife: Allu Arjun’s upcoming Pushpa 2, scheduled to hit screens on August 15, might consider changing its release date to avoid a clash. Some inside reports mention that there are still six months left for the release of Pushpa 2, and out of these 180 days, they require 100 days left to complete the film, which is a certainty.
The latest news is that the budget has shot up way above the original Rs 350 crore estimate and has joined other big-budget movies like RRR, Adipurush, and Kalki 2898 AD. The makers want to ensure Pushpa 2 smashes box office records this year, so they have invested in expensive re-shoots, which have upped the budget considerably—maybe even as high as 700 crores!
While the producers haven’t officially said anything yet, rumours say a big jump in the budget has thrown the Pushpa 2 team for a loop. Even though filming is almost finished, Sukumar and Allu Arjun are still reviewing details and reshooting some scenes to sharpen things up.
