It is without a doubt that ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ is one of the most awaited movies in India. The humongous success of the first part surprised everyone including the makers themselves. It created a huge sensation as the dialogues became popular, songs turned into chartbusters and Bunny’s mannerisms ended up going viral. The shooting of the second part started recently and there is an enormous buzz on the movie.
There is no need to hype up the movie personally but it looks like Allu Arjun himself is trying a bit too hard to do that which is quite unnecessary. During the success event of Allu Sirish’s ‘Urvasivo Rakshasivo’, the focus was mainly on guests waxing lyrics about Bunny and ‘Pushpa’ rather than congratulating or promoting Sirish’s film. Interestingly, Allu Arjun himself is seen giving statements that are quite over the board like, “If Pushpa movie is Taggedhele, then Pushpa 2 is going to be Assal.. taggedhele.”
We have seen a young hero making unwanted statements before a pan-Indian film’s release. The film became a huge disaster and the team is still unable to recover from the losses. Experts are saying that a big hero like Bunny need not make such statements on a film like ‘Pushpa’ since the hype and expectations are already sky high. They say that over-expectations often lead to disappointment. Rajamouli promotes his films but never overhypes them. That is one of the major reasons for his unparalleled success.
Many are claiming that it was what the team of ‘Pushpa’ needs to do rather than making unwanted statements. Rashmika played the role of Srivalli in this ‘Pushpa’ while Malayalam star hero Fahadh Faasil played the role of Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Actors like Ajay Ghosh, Sunil, Anasuya and others played negative roles in this high-budget film. Devi Sri Prasad gave the music while Mythri Movie Makers bankrolled it.
