Allu Arjun, one of Tollywood’s most celebrated actors, has built a massive fan following with his unique style and performances. However, he has relatively few box office records to his name and remains the only top-tier Tollywood actor yet to claim a major opening day record in Telugu states. Many expected Pushpa 2: The Rule to change this, but it fell short of beating the opening day benchmark set by RRR.
Interestingly, while Pushpa 2 didn’t surpass previous records in Telugu regions, it made an All-Time Record as the biggest opener worldwide when factoring in its performance in other languages. This reflects Allu Arjun’s growing popularity outside his home territory, even as he faced a minor setback in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Both Pushpa and its sequel have shown a similar pattern—while Pushpa underperformed in some Telugu territories and even incurred losses for a few distributors, it became a massive hit in the Hindi belt. Pushpa 2 has also opened strongly but is facing concerns regarding word-of-mouth in Telugu regions, which may affect its long-term run.
Despite these challenges, Pushpa 2 is set to achieve remarkable numbers in non-Telugu markets, especially in Hindi, where the first part was a runaway success. The sequel has already generated significant buzz and is expected to deliver exceptional figures in the coming weeks. Fans now eagerly await the final box office verdict for Pushpa 2 to see how it cements Allu Arjun’s standing on the Pan-India stage.
