Allu Arjun is poised to take the box office by storm with his highly anticipated film, Pushpa 2: The Rule, slated for release on December 6, 2024. The excitement surrounding this sequel is palpable, especially after it garnered an astonishing pre-release collection of ₹1,085 crores. This remarkable achievement is significant, especially considering it was reached before the film had even debuted in theatres.

Regionally, the pre-release earnings have been impressive, with ₹220 crores collected in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, ₹200 crores from the North, ₹50 crores in Tamil Nadu, ₹30 crores in Karnataka, ₹20 crores in Kerala, and ₹40 crores from overseas markets. The non-theatrical rights also contributed significantly, with music rights sold for ₹65 crores and satellite rights fetching ₹85 crores, culminating in a total of ₹425 crores. Directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Pushpa 2 features an ensemble cast alongside Allu Arjun, including Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. Expectations are soaring with a highly anticipated soundtrack to be released by T-Series. Given Allu Arjun’s prior accolades and these impressive pre-release figures, Pushpa 2 is positioned to be a colossal hit. As the release date approaches, fans are excited, eagerly awaiting how this film will fare at the box office. If these pre-release collections are any indication, Pushpa 2 will shatter records and achieve massive success.
