Looking at the box office success, the film might eventually surpass Baahubali 2 to become the second highest-grossing Indian film ever in the coming week.

On day 13, the second Tuesday, the film has already collected ₹3.66 crore at the box office, according to Sacnilk and is looking at earning over ₹15-20 crore at the box office.

Pushpa 2 The Rule is a sequel to Sukumar’s 2011 hit Pushpa The Rise. Allu Arjun reprises his role of Pushpa Raj in the film alongside Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.

Meanwhile, on Friday Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the death of a fan at the premiere of Pushpa 2. The actor was released after spending a night in jail and several stars came to meet him at his residence. However, the incident had a positive impact on the box office collection of the film and saw a 70% jump.
