The anticipation for Pushpa 2: The Rule was generated right after the first film in the franchise Pushpa: The Rise released in December 2021. In the time to follow, the excitement kept growing each passing month, with new promotional materials adding to it. Hence, the Allu Arjun starrer was expected to open well. However, the response to the film, right from when its advance booking started, has been unprecedented. The tickets for Pushpa 2 started selling like hot cakes. And this has now ensured another positive development for the film’s makers. It is now learnt that midnight shows (11:55 pm to 11:59 pm) of Pushpa 2 have been added in various cinema halls across Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Kolkata from today, despite it being a regular working Thursday.Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, Pushpa 2: The Rule also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles as Pushpa’s wife and enemy respectively.
