Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has said the humongous success of his latest release, Pushpa 2: The Rule, is a reflection of people’s love. He hopes another movie will soon break the box-office record of the film, which has become the fastest movie to earn Rs 1,000 crore.
A sequel to Arjun’s 2021 Telugu blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, the film released on December 5 with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam, and has emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2024.
It has broken many records at the box office, first registering opening numbers of Rs 294 crore and then breaking into the Rs 1,000 crore club in just six days.
“The 1,000 (cr) number is a reflection of the people’s love. The numbers are temporary, but the love that is etched in your hearts will remain forever. I believe that the numbers always have to be broken. Yes, it’s nice to be in this spot and enjoy the records, probably for 2-3 months,” the actor said.
“It doesn’t matter which film does it, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi or any other. But I want these records to be broken soon because that is progression. It means India is going up,” he said.
Pushpa 2 joins movies like Aamir Khan’s Dangal, Prabhas’ Baahubali 2 and Kalki 2898 AD, SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan in the coveted Rs 1,000 crore club.
