Fans have been looking forward to the movie for a long time now, and recently its teaser release has put everyone in a cinematic frenzy.

The Hindi theatrical rights of Pushpa 2 were reportedly sold for an impressive 200 crores, showcasing its widespread appeal across India. Allu Arjun has one-upped Shah Rukh Khan with the deal for the Pushpa sequel, outshining 150 crores for the Hindi distribution rights of both Dunki and Jawan.

But the numbers don’t stop there. In a groundbreaking agreement, Netflix has reportedly secured the digital rights for Pushpa 2 for a whopping 275 crores, with the potential to climb even higher. Additionally, the audio and satellite rights deals of the movie are said to be extremely lucrative, fetching an estimated 450 crores (including the OTT deal). When all these numbers are tallied, Pushpa 2 emerges as a leader in pre-release business, reaching the golden 1000 crores figure.

Looking at the pre-release business and the buzz surrounding Pushpa 2, we think it has the potential to become one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema when it arrives at the box office.
