Pushpa 2 reflection of people’s love, says Allu Arjun

Telugu superstar Allu Arjun on Thursday said the humongous success of his latest release Pushpa 2: The Rule is a reflection of people’s love and he hopes the box-office record of the film, which has become the fastest movie to earn Rs 1,000 crore, is broken soon by another movie. A sequel to Arjun’s 2021 Telugu blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, the film released on December 5 with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam, and has emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2024.

It has broken many records at the box-office, first by registering the opening numbers of Rs 294 crore and then breaking into the Rs 1,000 crore club in just six days. “The 1,000 (cr) number is a reflection of the people’s love. The numbers are temporary, but the love that is etched in your hearts will remain forever. I believe that the numbers always have to be broken. Yes, it’s nice to be in this spot and enjoy the records, probably for 2-3 months,” the actor said.

“It doesn’t matter which film does it, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi or any other. But I want these records to be broken soon because that is progression. It means India is going up,” he said. Pushpa 2 joins movies like Aamir Khan’s Dangal, Prabhas’ Baahubali 2 and Kalki 2898 AD, SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan in the coveted Rs 1,000 crore club.
