The teaser for the highly anticipated film Pushpa 2, featuring Allu Arjun in his iconic character, was released on Monday. Although the initial response was positive, it fell behind in terms of views compared to other Indian teasers on YouTube within 24 hours. Movies like KGF: Chapter 2 and Salaar are currently leading the race in terms of views.
The teaser, titled “Pushpa: The Rule,” showcased Allu Arjun dressed in a saree and engaging in action-packed sequences. It garnered 25.6 million views within the first 11 hours of its release. However, it did not experience the exponential growth expected before the 24-hour mark on YouTube.
The most viewed Indian teaser on YouTube within 24 hours is currently Prabhas’ Salaar, which amassed a staggering 83 million views. Adipurush, another film featuring Prabhas, holds the second spot with 68.9 million views. KGF: Chapter 2 follows closely behind with 68.8 million views. Pushpa 2 secured the fifth position on the list, with a total of 39.3 million views.
Despite falling behind in terms of views, the impact of the teaser was significant. Allu Arjun’s portrayal of Pushpa Raj in a saree garnered attention and created a global sensation within hours of its release. The film is expected to release on August 15, 2024, in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam
Pushpa 2 is directed by Sukumar and features a star-studded cast, including Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhananjay, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, and Anasuya Bharadwaj. It is reportedly one of the most expensive Indian films ever made, with a budget of around 500 crores. The film is a sequel to Pushpa: The Rise, which achieved great success at the box office, particularly in the Hindi market.
