Pushpa 2 Finds Love In Patna

‘If
you
thought
Allu
Arjun
was
a
sensation
in
the
first

Pushpa
film,
wait
till
you
see
what
he
has
done
this
time.’

In
a
surprising
move,
Allu
Arjun
released
the
trailer
of
his
much-awaited
Telugu
film

Pushpa
2:
The
Rule
in
Patna.

Bihar
Deputy
Chief
Minister
Vijay
Kumar
Sinha
called
it
a
‘historical
moment’.

“I
welcome
all
the
artists
and
technicians
of
the
film
at
the
historic
Gandhi
Maidan
of
Pataliputra.
Today’s
event
will
be
seen
as
a
film
revolution
to
promote
the
development
of
the
film
industry
as
well
as
tourism
in
Bihar.
Till
now,
no
trailer
launch
programme
of
any
film
was
organised
on
such
a
large
scale
in
Bihar,”
Sinha
said.

Huge
crowds
gathered
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
the
film’s
leading
cast,
Allu
Arjun
and
Rashmika
Mandanna.

“Pushpa
never
bows
down,”
declared
Allu
Arjun.

“Today,
for
a
change,

Pushpa
does
that
before
your
love.
On
this
occasion,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
across
the
nation.
Thank
you
for
the
love
you
have
shown
for
this
film.
Your
love
is
the
reason
why
this
film
was
made
so
great
and
why
everyone
likes
it
so
much.
The
film
is
going
to
be
released
grandly
on
December
5.
I
hope
everyone
likes
it.
Thank
you,
Bihar.
Thank
you,
Patna.”

“I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
people
of
Patna
for
showering
so
much
love.
I
can
assure
you
that
your
wait
for
this
film
will
be
more
than
worth
it,”
Rashmika
added.

Directed
by
Sukumar,
Fahadh
Faasil
also
stars
in
the
film.

Fans
created
a
stampede-like
situation
and
security
personnel
had
to
use
batons
to
control
the
crowds
at
the
Gandhi
Maidan
in
Patna.

People
even
climbed
the
structures
erected
at
the
venue
to
see
the
stars.

Later,
crowds
gathered
at
the
hotel
where
Arjun
was
stationed
for
an
hour
or
so
and
wanted
pictures
with
him.
Unfortunately,
he
couldn’t
oblige
everyone.

“In
the
earlier
film,
we
were
testing
the
ground.
This
time,
we
have
gone
all-out
to
give
the
audience
what
I’d
call
the
complete
full-on

Pushpa
experience.”

Pushpa‘s
sound
recordist
Resul
Pookutty
tells

Subhash
K
Jha.

“If
you
thought
Allu
Arjun
was
a
sensation
in
the
first

Pushpa
film,
wait
till
you
see
what
he
has
done
this
time.”

“Mark
my
words,
it
will
be
bigger
than
anything
in
recent
times.
The
experience
is
beyond
anything
audiences
expect.”

Shatrughan
Sinha
couldn’t
be
happier
that
the
film’s
trailer
released
in
his
hometown.

“I
am
so
glad
Bihar
is
finally
being
taken
seriously
by
the
Indian
film
industry,”
he
tells
Subhash.

“The
fact
that
a
film
as
massive
as

Pushpa
went
to
Patna
to
release
its
trailer
is
a
matter
of
pride
for
us.
Bihar
gave
the
super-duper
star
Allu
Arjun
a
massive
welcome.
In
Bihar,
we
know
how
to
honour
our
guests,
especially
someone
like
Allu
Arjun,
who
has
re-written
the
rules
of
the
Indian
box
office.
