Pushpa 2: Tracking Ahead of Blockbusters
The success of Pushpa 2 in the US market is noteworthy. The film has already exceeded the early box office performance of RRR and Jawan, both of which grossed over $15 million in North America. These films were among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the US, so it’s a big achievement for Pushpa 2 to match their pace.
What’s even more exciting is that the film is on track to rival Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and could soon challenge the all-time record holder, Baahubali 2. Baahubali 2 earned an astounding $20 million in the US, setting a high benchmark for Indian films. Pushpa 2 is moving closer to matching this historic number, adding to the anticipation surrounding its release.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the director's 2021 pan-India hit Pushpa: The Rise. The film continues the journey of Allu Arjun’s iconic character, Pushpa, who is known for his gritty and powerful portrayal of an anti-hero. Alongside Allu Arjun, the film stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Fassil in key roles.
The film is expected to be one of the biggest Indian productions to date, and it will be released on December 5. Fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation of the Pushpa saga, and the early numbers show that the film is likely to be another massive success for Allu Arjun and the team.
