As a sequel to Pushpa: The Rise (2021), the story delves deeper into the fierce rivalry between Pushpa and Bhanwar Singh, promising a dramatic conclusion. Directed by Sukumar, the film continues to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and action sequences.
However, the film’s success has been overshadowed by controversy. Lead actor Allu Arjun faced arrest after a tragic stampede during a screening resulted in a woman’s death. Director Ram Gopal Varma defended Arjun, questioning the rationale behind holding stars accountable for their immense popularity.
Despite these challenges, Pushpa 2: The Rule remains a cinematic juggernaut, solidifying its place in Indian cinema history.
