The highly anticipated Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ may have shifted its release to December 6, but the film’s team is leaving no stone unturned to deliver a stellar cinematic experience. Currently, the filmmakers are busy mounting an action block for the high-voltage climax of the film.


On Monday, the makers took to Instagram and shared an update with a short snippet from the film, featuring Allu Arjun in his thrilling avatar.


They provided further details about the shoot in the caption, stating, “Shoot Update: #Pushpa2TheRule is currently shooting a spectacular action episode for the climax. #Pushpa2TheRule Grand release worldwide on 6th DEC 2024.”

Amid rising anticipation for ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, this update has only heightened excitement. The massive action sequence is expected to deliver a grand theatrical experience.

Earlier reports indicated that the film experienced delays due to post-production issues. Editor Karthika Srinivas left the project, and the editing was taken over by Navin Nooli, who is currently working on the final cut. Additionally, director Sukumar considered reshooting some parts of the film to improve the quality of the VFX.

On the other hand, a month ago reports of a rift between Sukumar and Allu Arjun had surfaced. The rumours grew strong when Allu was seen with a trimmed beard. He sports a long, thick beard for his role in the film and with the film not wrapped his new look led fans to believe the rift rumours. The actor reportedly has not shaved his beard since 2020 to maintain the look of character. 

Talking to Hindustan Times, a representative close to the actor had said, "Yes, this video was taken recently, but there’s nothing to worry about. He still has long hair and a beard; he’s just groomed better. People forget that Pushpa 2: The Rule will see his character Pushpa Raj go from being a daily wage worker and smuggler to a don. He still can’t look as unkept and scraggly as in Pushpa: The Rise. There are no plans to postpone the film from December 6 either.”

As soon as the release date for ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ was moved from August 15 to December 6, other films from Hindi and Telugu cinema quickly booked the August 15 slot to leverage the festive release. Films such as ‘Stree 2’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’, and ‘Double iSmart’ are now set to release on August 15 to coincide with Independence Day celebrations.

Meanwhile, ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in the lead roles. The film will arrive in cinemas roughly three years after the release of its first part.
