The film directed by Sukumar set a new record for the highest opening in Indian cinema history — earning ₹294 crore on its debut day. The previous record was set by SS Rajamouli's RRR (₹223.5 crore), with Baahubali 2 (₹217 crore) and Kalki 2898 AD (₹175 crore) following.

About Pushpa 2: The Rule

The film debuted worldwide on Friday with dubbed editions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam. The movie was helmed by Sukumar and serves as a follow-up to the 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise. The initial segment of the film highlighted struggles for power amidst the context of red sandalwood trafficking.

Pushpa 2 is also set against the context of red sandalwood smuggling — with Allu Arjun returning to his role as the main character while Rashmika Mandanna portrays his love interest Srivalli. Fahadh Faasil reprised his role as Pushpa's adversary Bhanwar Singh Shekawat.
