Finally, Pushpa’s sequel Pushpa: The Rule, was formally launched a few days ago in Hyderabad. The regular shoot is expected to begin soon. Directed by Sukumar, this film features Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles.
According to the reports, the makers are going to spend more than Rs.350 crores on this movie. That makes Pushpa one of the most expensive films in Telugu cinema. Apparently, Sukumar is getting paid Rs.50 crores and Allu Arjun will be given Rs. 100 crores for this movie. That means about half of the film’s budget will be gone into remunerations itself.
Pushpa’s first part did a business of around Rs. 400 crores. It is expected that Pushpa 2 can earn more than 600 crores if it gets a positive talk. Thus, the makers are ready to spend 350 crores on it. We hear that the non-theatrical rights of the movie will be sold before it goes on to the sets. Apparently, they will be sold for more than 175 crores. It is also heard that the makers are getting fancy offers for theatrical rights as well. That means the makers are going to get the most of their budget right before the shoot gets started. Pushpa 2 is slated for a 2023 release.
