Pushpa 2 Trailer Launch in Patna: In a first-of-its-kind event, the trailer of the much-anticipated Telugu film, Pushpa 2: The Rule, was launched amid much fanfare and burgeoning crowds in the city of Patna, Bihar. If the trailer set the tone for what to expect from the film, the crowd that turned up to see team Pushpa set the stage for the box-office juggernaut that will be unleashed on December 5. One of the most important films of the pan-Indian movement, Pushpa: The Rise, broke linguistic barriers to reach all across the country and become the biggest success of Allu Arjun’s career. The dubbed versions of Pushpa became quite the rage, and this move by Mythri Movie Makers, who have backed both the films, is seen as a smart move to consolidate the Hindi market for Pushpa: The Rule.

The event, which happened in Gandhi Maidan, Patna, was attended by Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, singer Nakash Aziz, director Sukumar, and producers Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar. Talking to a raucous Patna crowd, the makers acknowledged that this was an unbelievable turnout, and was something even they didn’t expect. “We didn’t even see a crowd like this in Andhra. We are stunned,” said Naveen. Adding to this sentiment, Ravi said, “The reception in Patna is exceptional. We haven’t seen this madness ever. We are blown away.”
Distributor Anil Thadani of AA Films, who was previously involved with the massive pan-Indian blockbusters like Baahubali, RRR, and KGF, said, “Allu Arjun has created history, and I hope it reflects in the box-office numbers.” Incidentally, in another pre-release event, the makers expressed confidence that Pushpa: The Rule has the potential to be Allu Arjun’s maiden entry into the elusive Rs 1000 crore club.
Talking to a vibrant Patna crowd in Hindi, Rashmika expressed her love for the kind of response she was getting right from the moment she stepped into the ground. “This is quite a high,” said the Animal actor, who turned into an emcee of sorts for the event by doing a vibe check with the audience, and urging them to go watch Pushpa 2 with their friends and families.
Finally, it was time for Allu Arjun to take the stage, and he walked in soaking all the love, cheers, and wolf whistles from an enthusiastic crowd that had turned up to see him. Revealing that it was his first time in the state, Allu Arjun paraphrased his iconic line from the Sukumar directorial, and said, “Pushpa, jhukega nahi, but aapke pyaar ke saamne zarur jhukega (Pushpa never bows down to anyone, but he will now bow down to all your love).”
