Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 Confirmed For December 6 Release Date Despite Delay Rumors

Allu Arjun’s upcoming film, Pushpa 2, has been generating significant excitement. As one of the year’s most awaited action thrillers, it’s been a frequent topic in headlines due to the unclear release date. In the midst of this speculation, the filmmakers have announced the release date, accompanied by a snippet of the ‘Pushpa Pushpa song’.

On Tuesday, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for Pushpa shared IMDB’s post highlighting Allu Arjun’s film as the most anticipated of the year. The caption accompanying the repost read, “#ThaggedheLe #Pushpa2TheRule Grand release worldwide on 6th DEC 2024.”

Take a look:

Meanwhile, all might not be well between Telugu superstar Allu Arjun and Pushpa 2 director Sukumar, if the buzz is to be believed. There are rumours doing the rounds that Allu Arjun is miffed with Sukumar and it might have led to a delay in screening. Fans are speculating that the National Award winning actor might have had a fallout with the filmmaker after they spotted Allu Arjun on a flight during a holiday with his family but sans his Pushpa look.

Fans pointed out reports that claimed the film is set to wrap in August. Given the schedule, Allu Arjun ideally would have retained his long beard look. However, in a video gone viral on X, the actor was seen boarding a flight sporting a new handsome look. Despite the new beard look, his haircut remained the same as seen in Pushpa. It might also be possible that the team is exploring another look for a certain portion of the film.

The video has led to the speculations that there might have been a riff between the director and actor. To top it off, as per a Desi Martini report, industry sources have claimed Allu Arjun is allegedly upset over the ‘unscheduled shooting breaks.’ Apparently, trimming his beard is allegedly his way of ‘expressing his unhappiness’ over the prolonged production schedule. However, News18 Showsha couldn’t verify these claims.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, a source informed Deccan Chronicle that the filmmaker eyes to wrap the shooting schedule on August 31. “The action-adventure will be wrapped up in 60 days and most probably the last day of the shoot would be August 31,” a source told the publication. “The team is working round the clock to meet up with a new and challenging deadline,” the insider added.

“It is a bit of pressure on the director who doesn’t want to compromise and intends to give his best. He has to take a chill pill because he is supervising three units shooting at different places and rushing against time to wrap up the action adventure,” the insider further shared.

Pushpa 2: The Rule was supposed to hit theatres on August 15, 2024.
