The theatrical industry took a beating following the Covid second wave. Consequently, several pan-India films including RRR, and KGF 2 have been postponed to a later date.
However, Allu Arjun, and the makers of Pushpa: The Rise are apparently persistent in sticking to their initial release plans. They are determined to release the film during the Christmas season.
The latest we hear is that the makers of Pushpa: The Rise are contemplating the optimal release date for the film. They are considering December 17th as the release date for the Allu Arjun starrer.
Allu Arjun wants to take advantage of being the first true pan-India project to release in theaters post the Covid second wave. So, he insists on Christmas release for the rustic forest based actioner.
Pushpa: The Rise shoot is nearing completion and the makers will be issuing an official announcement on the release date very soon. In all likelihood, 17th December will be announced as the new release date for Pushpa.
