While the release of Allu Arjun's highly anticipated **Pushpa 2: The Rule** on August 15th, 2024, remains unconfirmed, rumors of a production delay have sent shockwaves through the fandom. The buzz suggests that **Thangalaan**, starring Vikram and directed by Pa. Ranjith, is eyeing the coveted Independence Day release date, seeing an opportunity if **Pushpa 2** faces a setback.
The potential delay of **Pushpa 2** has fueled speculation, as an August 15th release would grant any film a long weekend advantage, further enhanced by Raksha Bandhan falling on the following Monday. This lucrative window has caught the attention of **Thangalaan**'s makers, especially given the film's strong buzz in Tamil Nadu.
However, Studio Green, the production house behind **Thangalaan**, recently issued a statement urging fans to refrain from advising them on the release date. Despite this, the latest buzz surrounding the Vikram-starrer is drawing considerable attention.
**Thangalaan**, a historical drama based on real-life events in the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) area, features Malvika Mohanan as the female lead.
While both films are highly anticipated, the potential clash and the ongoing speculation about **Pushpa 2**'s release date have created an intriguing situation. The battle for the August 15th slot is heating up, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting official confirmation from both production houses.
