Pushpa 2: The Rule will be hitting the screen on December 5, 2024. Fans are gearing up to feel the heat. In a surprising twist, the film has surfaced within political debates in Andhra Pradesh. Recently, YSRCP MLA Ambati Rambabu courted controversy by leveling allegations against some political forces that are trying to sabotage the film’s success.
“No one can stop Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 from emerging as a gigantic hit at the box office,” he declared, speculating that someone was waging a boycott against the movie. He also mentioned Jr. NTR’s Devara, claiming similar boycott attempts against it were not successful.
Ambati has praised Pushpa: The Rise as “Hollywood-level” production and is eagerly awaiting the sequel. “The first part was phenomenal, and Allu Arjun’s performance was extraordinary. I can’t wait to watch the second part,” he said.
However, Allu Arjun fans have criticized some of his remarks. Many remembered the severe ticket price restriction imposed by the YSRCP government during the release of Pushpa 1, which had claimed a part of the latter’s box office collections. They accused Ambati of double-speak in his interest in the sequel.
Making matters interesting, Ambati made his remarks when the opposition leader, Chandrababu Naidu, has been frequently targeting him in the Assembly on account of delays in the Polavaram project during his stint as the Irrigation Minister. Critics viewed his fixation on Pushpa 2 at a time when key political issues are besetting him:.
The unexpected blend of Tollywood and politics has added a unique flavor to Pushpa 2’s pre-release buzz, underscoring the film’s wide-reaching influence. As fans eagerly await its release, the ongoing political drama only adds to the anticipation surrounding the movie.
