The highly anticipated Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, is generating significant buzz ahead of its release. As the release date nears, discussions about ticket pricing have already started, especially regarding the premiere shows and rates. Produced by Maitri Movie Makers, the film is set to make a huge impact both in theaters and in the market.
In Telangana, the government has already given permission to hold a premiere show a day before the official release. Starting at 9:30 PM on December 4, special shows will be held at a premium price of an additional ₹800. This means ticket prices for single screens will be ₹1121, and for multiplexes, it will be ₹1239, excluding GST. This decision has sparked a lot of conversation, especially since it marks a significant increase in ticket rates for Pushpa 2, creating a new precedent for ticket pricing in the region.

For the first four days of the release, ticket prices in single screens will be ₹354, and for multiplexes, it will be ₹531. From the fifth day to the 12th day, prices will rise to ₹300 for single screens and ₹472 for multiplexes. From the 13th to the 29th day, ticket prices will be ₹200 for single screens and ₹354 for multiplexes.
The discussion around ticket pricing is also heating up in Andhra Pradesh, with speculations about how much the state government will allow for ticket price hikes. Following the release of Devara, the government had approved a substantial increase in ticket rates, and now, Pushpa 2 producers are asking for even higher rates. There is also some political context around Allu Arjun’s involvement in past election campaigns, which may influence decisions regarding the film’s ticket pricing in Andhra Pradesh.
Given the political climate, including tensions between Allu Arjun and certain political parties, it remains to be seen how the Andhra Pradesh government will respond. The film’s ticket pricing and the approval process could lead to potential controversies, especially if the rates are increased beyond what has been allowed for previous films. All eyes will be on the government’s decision in the coming weeks.
