The anticipation for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is reaching a fever pitch as the film is set to hit theaters on December 5. With the sequel advantage and the massive success of the first part, box office projections for Pushpa 2 are soaring, with early estimates suggesting it could gross around ₹1000 crores. If this happens, director Sukumar would join the ranks of SS Rajamouli and Nag Ashwin as the third director to achieve this milestone.However, while Rajamouli and Nag Ashwin accomplished this with grand budgets and high-profile films, Sukumar’s potential success with Pushpa 2, a commercial film, would be noteworthy. Despite these optimistic projections, Pushpa 2 may not reach the same level of pre-release marketing and promotional hype as Rajamouli’s blockbusters like Baahubali 2 or RRR. The success of Pushpa 2 will largely depend on its sequel advantage and Allu Arjun’s strong fanbase in the northern markets.Currently, Sukumar is focused on completing the filming process, which has already gone beyond schedule. As excitement builds for Pushpa 2, discussions continue about whether it can indeed reach the impressive ₹1000 crore mark that Rajamouli has set.
