The film, owing to the success of its prequel and its popularity is expect to set the box office on fire. The Hindi version of the film has been priced at over Rs 2000 in some theatres in Delhi and Mumbai. And believe it or not ,the tickets are already fast selling. Pushpa 2's ticket prices soar high The ticket prices in several theatres are in the premium range owing to the increased demands. Delhi's PVR Director's Cut has priced the ticket for Rs 2400 for te Hindi version of Pushpa 2. In Mumbai, Maison PVR: Jio World Drive, the ticket price is Rs 2100.  While the ticket prices in these theatres are normally high, the theaters have hiked up the prices further for Pushpa 2.  In Delhi's PVR Select City Walk, recliner seats for an IMAX show on the opening night cost Rs 1860. In many Mumbai theatres, similar seats cost between ₹1500 and Rs 1700. Most of these theatres show 'Fast Flling' already on the ticket booking platform BookMyShow.  About Pushpa 2 trailer The trailer launch of the upcoming potential box-office juggernaut ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ was unveiled in Patna. If the audience cherished the first part of the movie, the trailer of the sequel to the film promises a high-voltage action-drama with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun at the forefront. The trailer opens with a person in background introducing Allu Arjun’s titular character of Pushpa as the one who is not afraid of power, and has no greed for money. The trailer then goes on to show several electrifying moments mostly in terms of action set pieces. There’s also a glimpse of Rashmika Mandanna’s iconic character of Srivalli in the movie. However, the game truly changes with the entry of the Malayalam superstar Fahadh Faasil in the trailer. His entry is kept simple yet it makes a big impact as he emerges out of a lake while taking a bath. The eccentricity of Fahadh’s character of a cop makes for a perfect antagonistic force for Allu Arjun’s character of sandalwood smuggler, Pushpa. Pushpa has indeed become a brand in the country that has set a new benchmark of success. Directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the music of the film is from T Series. ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ is set to arrive in cinemas on December 5, 2024.

With it becoming one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films, the stakes are naturally higher for the second part. Sukumaran kicked off the project in north India last October.  While the actor-director Prithviraj had a cameo in Lucifer, his role will be fleshed out in the next installment. A source informed Mid-day a while ago that Empuraan won’t be a sequel in the true sense. “It won’t pick up where Lucifer ended. Instead, Empuraan will focus on what happened before, how the primary characters crossed paths with one another and got to the point where the events of Lucifer happened. Additionally, it will show the protagonist’s journey ahead, including how Prithviraj’s mercenary character becomes significant in his life.” Sukumaran is evidently mounting his third directorial venture on a big canvas. The action thriller will be not only shot across six countries, but also released as a multi-lingual in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.
