The highly anticipated Telugu films Game Changer and Pushpa 2: The Rule are expanding their promotional efforts by launching in cities across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Marking a shift from the traditional focus on Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, these films are setting a new trend in Indian cinema with promotional events across India’s heartland. The star-studded cast, including Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, Allu Arjun, and Rashmika Mandanna, are scheduled to engage fans in Patna, Lucknow, and other major cities.
Telugu films are now reaching beyond regional boundaries, reflecting an evolving promotional strategy that resonates with audiences across India.
Pushpa 2 Trailer Launch Brings Patna into the Spotlight
Following the success of its first installment, Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, is generating buzz as the team plans an exclusive trailer launch in Patna. The decision to promote in Patna signals the filmmakers’ ambition to connect with a broader, pan-Indian audience. The event promises a grand spectacle, featuring a live engagement with fans in the heart of Bihar.
The itinerary, which was released on Saturday, highlighted Patna as the starting point of the nationwide tour. Rashmika Mandanna expressed her excitement on social media, declaring, “LET THE CONQUER BEGIN!” Following Patna, the team is expected to tour additional cities, including Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, culminating in the film’s highly anticipated theatrical release on December 5, 2024. Pushpa 2 follows the legacy of Pushpa: The Rise, a film that established Allu Arjun as a household name across India, earning him acclaim and recognition for his portrayal of a gritty, rebellious character.
Pushpa 2’s promotional event in Patna is part of a trend pioneered by SS Rajamouli with the blockbuster Baahubali series, which underscored the importance of promoting Telugu films on a national scale. Events like these, held in cities beyond the traditional strongholds of Telugu cinema, have become increasingly significant, ensuring these films connect with audiences across India.
