Allu Arjun's "Pushpa 2: The Rule" has crossed Rs 1000 crore mark at the global box office in just six days. This has made it the fastest Indian film to have registered the feat.
The Sukumar-directed movie is a sequel to 2021 Telugu blockbuster "Pushpa: The Rise" that was released on December 5 in dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
Production banner Mythri Movie Makers, which has financed the film, shared the movie's latest box office figures on social media and said that the film has earned Rs 1002 crore gross.
"THE BIGGEST INDIAN FILM rewrites history at the box office. #Pushpa2TheRule becomes the FASTEST INDIAN FILM to cross 1000 CRORES GROSS WORLDWIDE in 6 days #PUSHPA2HitsFastest1000Cr. Sukumar redefines commercial cinema," the banner posted on X.
In the Rs 1000 crore club, "Pushpa 2" has now entered with films like Aamir Khan's "Dangal", Prabhas' "Baahubali 2" and "Kalki 2898 AD", SS Rajamouli's "RRR" and Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" and "Jawan".
The Hindi version of "Pushpa 2", whose trailer was launched by Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in Patna last month, has so far collected Rs 375 crore in nett box office earnings, Mythri Movie Makers said in a separate post.
"Another sensational day for #Pushpa2TheRule at the box office with a Nett of 36 CRORES in Hindi on Tuesday. Fastest to hit 375 CRORES NETT mark in Hindi in just 6 days. RULING IN CINEMAS," the studio said.
In the sequel, Arjun comes back as labourer-turned-sandalwood smuggler Pushpa Raj, along with Mandanna as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
The original film, also directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, was not only a commercial success, amassing over Rs 300 crore in India, but also established a strong fan base beyond the traditional Telugu base.
"Pushpa 2: The Rule" also features Jagapathi Babu, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil and Anasuya Bharadwaj.
