Allu Arjun continues to ride the success wave of Pushpa: The Rise. Pushpa 2 Mania, The much-anticipated sequel, Pushpa: The Rule, is grabbing headlines. The teaser itself broke records, and trade reports suggest the film’s theatrical rights have shattered expectations. Bollywood rights sold for a record-breaking ₹200 crore, while Telugu rights fetched ₹120 crore. This puts the movie on track for a potential gross collection of a whopping ₹800 crore.

The makers of the blockbuster movie Pushpa: The Rise are setting their sights high for the sequel. Pushpa 1, which released in December 2021, was a massive commercial success, grossing over ₹300 crores gross and earning the makers a share of over ₹150 crores net. However, Pushpa 2 seems poised to shatter those records.

Industry insiders report that the film’s theatrical rights have already been sold for a staggering sum. The Bollywood rights alone have been acquired for a whopping ₹200 crores, while the Telugu rights have fetched ₹120 crores. This means that even before its release, Pushpa 2 has recovered a significant portion of its production costs and is well on its way to becoming a major financial success.

With these sales, the makers are now aiming for a total gross collection of ₹800 crores, which would translate to a share of around ₹400 crores for the production house. This is a quadrupling of their target from the first film, highlighting the immense faith that distributors have placed in the Pushpa franchise.

Ravishing lady Janhvi Kapoor arrived in the industry as the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi. She made her debut with a love story like ‘Dhadak’ but preferred female-centric films a lot after that. She did movies like ‘Gunjan Saxena’, ‘Good Luck Jerry’, ‘Mili’ and ‘Roohi’ which had her as the main lead. Despite playing main roles, she is yet to give a strong performance. Also, she is trying hard to get commercial success as well. She acted with stars like Varun Dhawan and did cameos in Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor’s movies.

She has selected another female-centric film titled ‘Ulajh’. The teaser came out recently and it explained the concept of the movie. She plays the role of a woman who works for India as a spy. She doesn’t get the support from Indian government when things take a bad turn. The movie is about how she escapes from the danger on her own. Subhanshu is the director and the theme is quite clear in the teaser.

She is now entering the South with two big pan-Indian projects. She is the heroine in NTR’s ‘Devara’ and Ram Charna’s #RC16 which are being made on a grand scale. Prior to these two big flicks, she wanted to make her mark as a performer in Hindi cinema with ‘Ulajh’. The plot sounds quite similar to Alia Bhatt’s super hit movie ‘Raazi’.

Alia won a lot of praise for her performance and the movie got huge collections too. Alia did a good number of commercial films before doing ‘Raazi’ but Janhvi is trying to make her mark as a solo performer in the initial days itself. ‘Ulajh’ is being made by the makers who produced ‘Raazi’ as well. This is a golden chance for her to prove herself as an actor. We need to wait and see if Janhvi showcases her acting prowess through ‘Ulajh’ before two big South Indian films get released or not.
