Development

In May 2021, the makers of the film Pushpa announced that the film would be released in two parts, with the second installment coming out in 2022.[9] About 10% of the shooting had already been completed before the release of the first part. However, due to the success of the film KGF: Chapter 2, there were rumors that it had the same storyline as Pushpa 2: The Rule. Therefore, director Sukumar decided to rewrite and reshoot the entire second part to make sure that the audience gets a unique experience. Sukumar confirmed that the stories were not the same, but he wanted to fulfill the audience's anticipation and correct previous mistakes.[10]

At the end of the first part of the film, the title is revealed to be Pushpa 2: The Rule. The second part of the film was officially launched with a traditional pooja ceremony in Hyderabad in August 2022.[11]

Filming

Even though a few scenes of Pushpa 2 were already filmed before the release of the first part, Sukumar stated that he altered the story a bit and that he was going to reshoot the entire film.[12] Principal photography for the film began in October 2022.[13]

Release

The film will be released in theatres on 15 August 2024 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages, coinciding Indian Independence Day.[14]The film is the sequel to 2021's Pushpa: The Rise.[15]
