Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun's blockbuster film, has grossed ₹1831 crores in a month, surpassing Baahubali's records. Initially, a reloaded version with 20 minutes of additional footage was announced for January 11 to challenge Dangal's record. However, considering Sankranthi releases, the team postponed it to January 17.
Ram Charan's Game Changer (January 10), Balakrishna's Daku Maharaj (January 12), and Venkatesh's Sankranthiki Yaaraman (January 14) are scheduled for release. To avoid competition, Pushpa 2's reloaded version was postponed. Fans expressed mixed reactions, with some appreciating the consideration for Sankranthi films.
Currently, Dangal holds the highest-grossing record in India, followed by Baahubali 2. Pushpa 2 ranks second, fueling anticipation for the reloaded version. The additional footage aims to break Dangal's record, targeting ₹2000 crores.
The reloaded version's postponement has left fans awaiting January 17. Netizens speculate that producers prioritized Sankranthi releases. Despite the delay, expectations remain high for Pushpa 2 to surpass Dangal's record, cementing its position as one of India's highest-grossing films.
