'Pushpa 2' won't be released in 3D for now—here's why
The much-awaited Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar, has canceled its 3D release planned for Thursday, December 5. Although the film was earlier announced to be released in multiple formats including 2D, 3D, 4DX, and IMAX, the makers have now confirmed that the movie will only be released in non-3D formats initially. This is because a ready-to-release version of the film in 3D format isn't available.
Refunds initiated for pre-booked 'Pushpa 2' 3D tickets
The abrupt cancelation of the 3D release has disappointed many fans, particularly those who had already booked tickets for the version. Consequently, theater chains are now issuing refunds for these bookings. Only the 2D, IMAX, and 4DX versions of Pushpa 2 are currently available on BookMyShow.
'Pushpa 2' may be released in 3D later
Amid the disappointment, rumors also suggest that the makers of Pushpa 2 are eyeing a later release date for the 3D version. Speculations are rife that this version might arrive in theaters on December 13, giving the team more time to prepare the 3D print. However, an official announcement about this new release date is still awaited from the filmmakers.
Hindi version of 'Pushpa 2' also faces screening changes
In another surprise, the Hindi version of Pushpa 2: The Rule won't be having midnight shows on December 4 as planned. The film was supposed to be screened in 2D, IMAX 2D, and 3D formats in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi languages. Exhibitors have been notified about this schedule change. An industry insider expressed regret over these issues but accepted that such situations are sometimes unavoidable.
'Pushpa 2' continues to excel at the box office
Despite these setbacks, Pushpa 2: The Rule continues to be one of the most anticipated films of 2024 and continues to do well at the box office. According to the market experts, the sequel will easily cross ₹80 crore on Day 1. Trade experts predict Pushpa 2 will set new benchmarks by beating the records of Jawan, KGF: Chapter 2, and many other films.
