Pushpa 2 is the sequel to the blockbuster movie Pushpa: The Rule, which was released in December 2022. The movie features Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, a red sandalwood smuggler who fights against the corrupt system and the powerful enemies. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles.
The movie is being made in two parts, with the first part receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The movie broke several records at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing Telugu movie of all time. The movie also received appreciation for its technical aspects, such as cinematography, music, editing, and action sequences.
The makers of the movie have announced that the second part will be released on August 15, 2023, coinciding with India’s Independence Day. The movie is expected to be a grand finale to the saga of Pushpa Raj, with more twists, turns, and surprises. The movie is also being dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages, making it a Pan Indian movie.
However, some rumors have been circulating that the release date of Pushpa 2 might be postponed due to various reasons, such as the post-production work, and the clash with other movies. The producers have denied these rumors and have reiterated that the movie will hit the screens on August 15 as planned.
Pushpa 2 Other Movies: The Contenders for the August 15 Slot
Pushpa 2 is not the only movie that is aiming for the August 15 release date. Many other movies from different languages and genres are also vying for the same date, hoping to capitalize on the festive mood and the long weekend.
One of the movies that is competing with Pushpa 2 is NTR’s Devara, starring Jr. NTR and directed by Prashanth Neel. The movie is a historical drama based on the life of Komaram Bheem, a tribal leader who fought against the British rule. The movie is also a Pan Indian movie, being released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. The movie was originally scheduled to release on April 5, 2024, but was postponed due to the Andhra Pradesh state elections. The makers are now considering either August 15 or Dussehra festival as the new release date.
From the Tamil film industry, there are three movies that are reportedly targeting the August 15 date. They are Indian 2, starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Shankar, Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth and directed by Siva, and Kanguva, starring Surya and directed by Vetrimaaran. All these movies are big-budget and star-studded projects that have a huge fan following and anticipation.
From the Hindi film industry, there is Singam Again, starring Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Shetty. The movie is the fourth installment in the popular Singam franchise, which features Ajay Devgn as a fearless and honest cop who takes on the criminals and corrupt politicians. The movie is expected to be a masala entertainer with high-octane action and comedy.
Who Will Win the August 15 Race?
With so many movies aiming for the August 15 release date, the question arises: who will win the race? Will Pushpa 2 be able to retain its date and dominate the box office? Or will it face a tough competition from the other movies? Or will some of the movies back out and opt for a different date?
The answer to these questions will depend on various factors, such as the audience’s preference, the word-of-mouth, the reviews, and the marketing strategies. However, one thing is certain: the August 15 weekend will be a feast for the movie lovers, who will have a variety of options to choose from. It will be interesting to see which movie will emerge as the winner and which movie will have to settle for the second place.
