Despite numerous speculations, the team behind “Pushpa 2: The Rule” remains silent about the rumored rift between director Sukumar and star Allu Arjun, as well as the potential postponement of the film’s release. Several small and medium-budget films aiming for a December release are puzzled by the uncertainty surrounding “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” Allu Arjun is set to rejoin the film’s sets this week to shoot his portions and expedite the production.
Discussions between Allu Arjun and Sukumar have focused on the film’s release date. Allu Arjun has agreed to return to the set only if the film is guaranteed to release on December 6th; otherwise, he has requested more time before resuming his role. Sukumar has promised to complete the shoot promptly to meet the December 6th release target. However, Sukumar’s reputation for perfectionism suggests that a delay is still possible.
This situation mirrors the previous year’s disruption caused by the postponement of Prabhas’ “Salaar,” which altered the December release schedule. Similar uncertainty surrounds “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” Additionally, Ram Charan’s “Game Changer” is targeting a Christmas release, but its release date depends on the completion of post-production work by director Shankar. If “Pushpa 2: The Rule” and “Game Changer” are delayed, it will significantly impact the release schedules of several other Tollywood films, including Balakrishna and Bobby’s film, Naga Chaitanya’s “Thandel,” Nithiin’s “Robinhood,” and Manchu Vishnu’s “Kannappa.”
A clear announcement regarding the release dates of “Pushpa 2: The Rule” and “Game Changer” will help other films plan their schedules accordingly. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
