‘I
expect
it
to
be
the
highest
grosser
of
Indian
cinema.’
Just
how
big
will
Allu
Arjun’s
Pushpa:
The
Rule
be
at
the
box
office?
The
actor’s
father,
Producer
Allu
Aravind,
tells
Subhash
K
Jha,
“I
expect
it
to
be
the
highest
grosser
of
Indian
cinema
and
it
has
every
chance
to
do
so.”
Oscar-winning
sound
designer
of
Pushpa
2
Resul
Pookutty
agrees.
“It
will
be
bigger
than
the
best,”
he
says.
“It
is
a
larger-than-life
story
of
a
man
who
made
it
to
the
top,
whose
journey
may
not
be
inspiring
but
his
deeds
are.
Pushpa:
The
Rule
blends
that
journey
with
family
values
and
traditions
of
Andhra
Pradesh.”
“The
audience
would
feel
even
in
a
mass
masala
outing,
how
did
Director
Sukumar
and
Allu
Arjun
anchor
the
values
that
are
so
close
to
their
culture?
So
regarding
Allu
Aravind
sir’s
prediction,
he
is
not
likely
to
be
off
the
mark.”
adds
Resul.
“Pushpa
2
is
a
mammoth
film
and
expectations
are
sky-high,”
says
trade
expert
Girish
Johar.
“It
is
one
of
the
most
awaited
films
of
the
year
and
is
poised
to
create
havoc
at
the
global
box
office.
The
main
trailer
of
the
film
has
been
loved
by
all
across
the
board.”
“Expecting
more
than
Rs
200
crore
(Rs
2
billion)
start
at
the
global
box
office,
which
could
set
it
as
the
highest
opener
ever,”
predicts
Johar.
Resul
has
the
last
word:
“If
the
audiences’
expectations
are
sky-high,
the
end
product
is
all
set
to
meet
those
expectations.”
