The blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, continues to dominate the box office. Released on December 5, the film has garnered tremendous praise and massive collections, solidifying its position as one of the biggest hits of the year. According to the makers, the movie has already crossed ₹1,500 crore in global box office collections. Even in its third weekend, the film is pulling in decent revenues across domestic and overseas markets.
New Footage in Theatres?
Reports suggest that the makers are considering adding 15 minutes of deleted footage to the theatrical version. If implemented, the total runtime of the movie will increase from its current three hours and 20 minutes to three hours and 35 minutes. This extended runtime could make Pushpa 2 one of the longest Indian films ever showcased in theatres.
The additional footage is said to include scenes that were initially cut but now aim to add more depth to the storyline. The makers are reportedly planning to release this extended version starting January 1, 2025. This move could potentially increase audience curiosity, drawing more viewers to cinemas for the enhanced experience.

The decision to add extra scenes could positively influence footfall in theatres, as fans would be eager to see the new content. However, the makers have not issued an official confirmation yet. Fans are advised to stay tuned for updates regarding this development.
