Director Sukumar, known for his perfectionism, is once again creating immense tension within the Pushpa 2 team as the film’s release date draws near. With only 10 days left until the much-anticipated sequel to Pushpa is scheduled to hit theaters on December 5, the team is still grappling with last-minute hurdles. Despite the release being right around the corner, Pushpa 2 is still in the middle of its shooting phase, with the final song only being completed this past Sunday.
Sukumar’s meticulous nature has led to heightened stress levels within the unit. The team has expressed concerns about the intense pressure they are under, with some even joking about the physical toll it’s taking, with high blood pressure and sugar levels becoming a worry. As the days tick down, doubts are swirling over whether the film will actually make its release date. The uncertainty surrounding whether the film will be ready in time is creating significant tension among the crew.
This isn’t the first time Sukumar’s work ethic has caused such stress. A similar situation occurred during the production of Pushpa, with the team working under immense pressure in the final stages of production. Back then, as now, there was a feeling that no matter how much time was given, the director would wait until the last moment to finalize things, creating unnecessary tension. The same pattern is repeating with Pushpa 2, as the film has faced multiple delays, and the pressure continues to build in the final stretch.

The last song for Pushpa 2 was shot recently, with the choreographer now handling the post-production work. Sukumar has been deeply involved in the post-production process, ensuring every detail is perfect. This intense focus on the final stages of production has kept him busy, which is why he was unable to attend the trailer release event for Pushpa 2.
Despite the nearing release date, the film is yet to be submitted for censor approval, and final copies still need to be prepared. The team has to ensure that the movie is ready for release across six languages, with the pan-India release plan adding further pressure. While other directors, such as S.S. Rajamouli, typically complete the censor process a month before the film’s release to allow ample time for promotions, Sukumar’s approach has kept things running closer to the wire.
As the Pushpa 2 team prepares for its release, the familiar pattern of delays, last-minute preparations, and rising tension remains. It seems that Sukumar’s dedication to perfection continues to bring a mix of anticipation and anxiety for everyone involved, leaving the team scrambling to meet the December 5 deadline. The pressure of delivering a blockbuster sequel to the hugely successful Pushpa is clearly taking its toll, but with Sukumar’s perfectionism at the helm, fans can expect nothing less than a high-stakes cinematic experience when the film finally hits theaters.
