Allu Arjun's much-awaited movie "Pushpa 2: The Rule" has a new release date and will now hit the theatres worldwide on December 6.
Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is a sequel to Arjun's "Pushpa 1: The Rise," which became a huge blockbuster in the country after its release in December 2021.
In a post on X on Monday evening, production banner Mythri Movie Makers shared the movie's new release date, which was earlier slated to come in cinemas on August 15.
"We intend to give you the best. The wait increases for a memorable experience on the big screens. #Pushpa2TheRule Grand release worldwide on 6th DECEMBER 2024. His rule will be phenomenal. His rule will be unprecedented," the studio posted along with a brand new poster.
Mythri Movie Makers also released a statement explaining why the film was postponed.
"'Pushpa 2: The Rule' is one of the most anticipated Indian films. Following the immense success of Pushpa: The Rise, our responsibility to deliver excellence has increased significantly. We have been tirelessly working to complete the movie and release it on time.
"However, due to the remaining shoot and subsequent post-production work, we will not be releasing the film on August 15th, 2024," the studio said.
The company said the decision was made in the best interests of the "film, the audience, and all stakeholders".
