The makers of “Pushpa 2: The Rule” have made significant investments in the film, initially set for release on August 15th. However, with production going over budget, director Sukumar continues to refine this high-octane action film. Both Sukumar and lead actor Allu Arjun are commanding substantial fees, adding to the financial strain on Mythri Movie Makers.
The release of “Pushpa 2: The Rule” has now been postponed to December 6th, extending the delay by four months. Given the high remunerations, business deals, and soaring budget, recouping the entire investment is a daunting task. The film needs to be a major box office success to break even.
Despite the challenges, distributors are eager to pay substantial advances, willing to release the film on an advance basis. However, with no non-refundable deals in place, this poses a significant risk for the producers. To alleviate the financial burden caused by the delays and budget increases, Allu Arjun and Sukumar may need to reduce their fees. The industry awaits to see how these issues will be resolved before the film’s release.
