'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' earned a share amount of Rs 21 Cr upon its release in 2020. At that time, Mahesh Babu's 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' was its chief competitor.
The theatrical release rights value of 'Pushpa 2' for Vizag is estimated to be Rs 23 Cr. Even an event film like 'Kalki 2898 AD' collected much lesser than this figure. In other words, those in the trade estimate that 'Pushpa 2' will do much better than even Prabhas' 'Salaar' and 'Kalki' in Vizag.
Allu Arjun's fans are confident that the Sukumar directorial will be a commercial sensation. Producer SKN, who is also a close confidante of Bunny, says that 'AVPL' earned Rs 21 Cr despite competition. In 2024, 'Pushpa 2' has the dual advantage of a solo release and hiked ticket rates (although it's a non-festival release and is a minus in that sense). 'Devara' recently got ticket rate hikes. So, 'Pushpa 2' will enjoy the benefit in Andhra Pradesh.
Starring also Fahadh Faasil and Rashmika Mandanna, 'Pushpa 2' will head to theatres on December 6.
