Pushpa 2 postponed: Allu Arjun announces film’s new release date with a fresh poster

Rumours had been circulating since last week that Sukumar’s highly anticipated action thriller, Pushpa: The Rule, would not make its previously announced release date of August 15. Now, lead actor Allu Arjun has officially confirmed the delay and announced a new release date.

On Monday evening, Allu Arjun took to his X handle to share a new poster for Pushpa 2: The Rule. The poster features him in his iconic role of Pushpa Raj, dressed in a grey t-shirt with a brown shirt layered over it, and a matching bandana on his head. He is shown holding a sword resting menacingly on his shoulder, looking into the camera with a deadly expression. His caption read, “#Pushpa2TheRule in cinemas from December 6th, 2024.”

Fans have been curious about the status of Pushpa 2, especially as new films announced their release dates for August 15. Pushpa 2 was initially set to clash with Rohit Shetty’s Bollywood cop drama Singham Again and Nikkhil Advani’s action thriller Vedaa. Last week, Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and Puri Jagannadh’s sci-fi action film Double iSmart were also added to the lineup. Later, it was clarified that Jio Studios had rescheduled Singham Again for a Diwali release and announced that its horror comedy Stree 2 would premiere on August 15 instead.
