The film will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, with subtitles ensuring a broader reach. Unfortunately, the absence of a Hindi-dubbed version in the initial OTT release has disappointed a segment of fans.
A box office juggernaut
Since its release, Pushpa 2: The Rule has redefined success at the box office, collecting a staggering INR 1,833 crore globally. According to industry trackers, the film is on its way to overtaking Baahubali 2 and Dangal to become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
The sequel sees Allu Arjun reprise his iconic role as Pushpa Raj, confronting challenges that test his mettle as he navigates the gritty underworld of red sandalwood smuggling. With Rashmika Mandanna returning as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil delivering a stellar performance as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, the movie's compelling ensemble cast has been a key factor in its success.

The buzz around Pushpa 2: The Rule isn’t limited to box office numbers. The film has captivated audiences with its intense storytelling, electrifying action, and larger-than-life moments. Allu Arjun’s magnetic performance has cemented his status as a pan-Indian star, while the iconic dialogue “Thaggede Le” continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
