Hyderabad:The buzz around Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring superstar Allu Arjun, is reaching unprecedented levels as the film gears up for its release on December 5. Directed by Sukumar, the much-anticipated Pan India action-drama has already garnered massive attention, and the opening day pre-sales are expected to break records in India. "Scheduled to be released on December 5, the pre-sales of Pushpa 2 are expected to open on November 30, Saturday, which is 5 days before the release in India," according to trade sources. The movie is targeting the biggest opening day and weekend pre-sales, especially in Hindi-speaking regions.
Currently, the record for the biggest opening day pre-sales is held by KGF: Chapter 2, which grossed Rs 40 crore on its opening day, including block seats. In the Hindi market, Jawan holds the record with Rs 36 crore gross in pre-sales without block seats. However, with the enormous on-ground buzz and the massive anticipation surrounding Pushpa 2, experts are predicting that the film will surpass these figures and set a new benchmark for advance bookings in India. The pre-sales for the film will officially open on November 30, and the trade is anticipating record-breaking sales once the full-fledged pre-sales kick off.
Pushpa 2 will also have a solo release on December 5, following the postponement of Chhaava, which was initially scheduled to release on December 6. This gives Pushpa 2 a clear path to dominate the box office during its opening week, making it even more poised for success. The trade is also optimistic about the film's performance in the Hindi market, where it will target the record set by Jawan's Rs 65.5 crore net opening day.
