Fans of Allu Arjun and director Sukumar’s blockbuster film Pushpa: The Rise will have to wait a little longer for the sequel. While the highly anticipated Pushpa: The Rule was slated for an Independence Day release on August 15, 2024, it has now been officially postponed.
Pushpa 2’s filming delays cause pushback
According to exclusive sources close to the production, the decision to delay the release stems from challenges in meeting the August deadline. “The makers were always racing against time to finish the shoot and lock their edit,” revealed a source. “It’s yesterday that they finally decided to delay the release date and an official announcement on the new date is expected to be made in a day or two.”
Pushpa 2 gears up for a December release
The source further elaborated that the team is now targeting a December 2024 release window. “Pushpa 2 team is considering several date options – which includes Dussehra 2024, December 2024, and Pongal 2025. However, the way things are moving, it seems that Pushpa 2 will arrive in the month of December,” they revealed.
Pushpa 2’s filming delay impacts on promotions
This delay will likely cause a temporary halt in the film’s promotional campaign. So far, fans have been treated to a teaser and two songs, but further promotion will likely be adjusted to accommodate the new release window. Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that the makers are yet to make an official announcement to confirm the same.
Speaking of the film, Pushpa: The Rule will delve deeper into the conflict between Pushpa Raj, played by Allu Arjun, and Fahadh Faasil’s character. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna in a key role.
