With just 50 days to go, the excitement for Pushpa 2 is building rapidly. Scheduled to release on December 6, the film will also have early premieres, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the year. The third single from the movie is expected to drop this month, but director Sukumar and his team need to intensify their promotional efforts to match the film’s buzz.
When it comes to business, Pushpa 2 has already set a massive benchmark, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The pre-release business for Pushpa 2 is comparable to RRR, highlighting the scale and craze surrounding the film. Here’s the area-wise breakdown of the pre-release business:
- Nizam: ₹80 Cr
- Ceded: ₹30 Cr
- UA (Uttarandhra): ₹23.40 Cr
- East: ₹14.40 Cr
- West: ₹10.80 Cr
- Guntur: ₹15.30 Cr
- Krishna: ₹12.60 Cr
- Nellore: ₹7.2 Cr
The total business across the Telugu states amounts to ₹194 crores, meaning the film needs to collect ₹200 Cr in these regions alone to be declared a hit. Only films like RRR and Baahubali have managed such a massive run, setting high expectations for Pushpa 2.
With no major competition until Ram Charan’s Game Changer arrives, Pushpa 2 is poised to dominate the box office. The film will heavily rely on positive word of mouth and an extended theatrical run to reach blockbuster status.
