With a base price of Rs 250 crore and potential bonuses driving the total up to Rs 300 crore, the deal sets a new precedent in the industry. This strategic approach reflects a paradigm shift towards aligning digital rights prices with theatrical returns, ensuring that all stakeholders benefit from the film’s success.
Scheduled for release on August 15, 2024, Pushpa 2 promises to deliver a cinematic spectacle unlike any other.

With a musical score by DSP and production in full swing, Pushpa 2 is poised to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and breathtaking visuals.
Following the success of its predecessor, Pushpa, which made Rs 125 crore in the Hindi market despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, expectations are sky-high for Pushpa 2.
