Pushpa 2 Becomes a Box Office Phenomenon, Surpassing ₹1,500 Crore Worldwide

Allu Arjun's blockbuster faces legal challenges and protests following a tragic stampede at a promotional event.

Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, has earned over ₹1,500 crore globally in just 18 days, becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
The film has joined the exclusive ₹1,000 crore net club in India, previously achieved only by Baahubali 2, and has set new benchmarks in the Hindi-speaking market with ₹665 crore in earnings.
A tragic stampede at a Hyderabad theater during a promotional event led to the death of a woman, resulting in legal action against Allu Arjun and the theater management.
Protests erupted outside Allu Arjun's Hyderabad residence, with demands for justice for the victim's family; the actor has pledged ₹25 lakh in support for the family.
Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar and featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, is a sequel to the 2021 hit and sets the stage for a third installment titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage.
