Pushpa 2 Release Update: The craze around Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna*s mega-actioner is real and the fans* frenzy in and around the theatres is proof of the same. Pushpa 2 was released earlier on Thursday, December 5 and several developments have unfolded since.
Here*s a quick look at everything that happened on the opening day so far that made the Sukumar film feel like an absolute show stealer.
The much-hyped and major Jatara sequence that is stealing the show worldwide has been chopped off in Saudi. Saudi Arabia*s censor board had objections to showing Hindu deities and androgyny in their country and hence removed 19 crucial minutes from the film before allowing it for screening. Pushpa 2 will run for 3 hours and 1 minute in Saudi making audiences miss some major action.
In an unfortunate incident, a female fan reportedly died due to a stampede with another child remaining critical due to the same incident. The makers also ensured that they saved themselves from piracy after Pushpa 2 was immediately available on torrent sites, the access to which has since been blocked.
A roaring controversy around the price of Pushpa 2 tickets reached the Andhra Pradesh High Court where the complainant urged for the stay in the release of the film. The court rejected all petitions, ensuring a smooth release of the film in theatres while stating the govt follows its own orders passed recently in a petition on the same subject.
We can say the big feats Pushpa 2 is set to achieve were something quite expected. The movie is expected to gross over Rs 250 crores worldwide by the end of day 1 making it the biggest opener in Indian history. The Internet is also having an eagle eye on all other box office records that Allu Arjun*s magic is set to make.
Several videos and pictures have surfaced on the internet where fans of Pushpa 2 are seen throwing confetti inside the theatres. Some of them even caused brief panic as they burst crackers near the screens overexpressing their joy. The ones dancing and singing in their seats have truly made this a day to remember.
Experience all of this and more - the true magic of cinema and stories - ONLY in theatres near you. Pushpa is here to rule your hearts and see you at the movies!
