The reloaded version of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule has been delayed due to technical reasons. The film was originally slated for release on January 11, 2025.

In Short

• The reloaded version of Pushpa 2: The Rule has been delayed due to technical issues
• 20 minutes of extra content will be added to the theatrical version of Pushpa 2
• Pushpa 2: The Rule stars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule Reloaded has been postponed due to technical issues in processing the additional content. Initially scheduled to hit theatres on January 11, the reloaded version will now be released on January 17, after the major Sankranti releases.

The makers shared this development on X with a note that read, “Due to technical delays in processing the content, the reloaded version of Pushpa 2: The Rule is delayed. It will now screen in theaters from 17th January and not from 11th January as planned earlier. Happy Sankranthi everyone. The extended version will be worth the wait with additional whistle-worthy moments (sic)."

The 20 minutes of added footage is expected to include the much-anticipated Japan sequence, which was teased in the trailer but not included in the original theatrical version. Fans are eager to see how these new scenes will enhance the film's narrative.

While the official reason for the delay has been attributed to technical issues, industry insiders speculate that the decision to postpone might have been a request by the makers of the other big Sankranthi releases, including Ram Charan’s Game Changer, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaj, and Venkatesh Daggubati’s Sankranthiki Vasthunnam.

Despite the delay, Pushpa 2 continues to ride high on its success with the existing theatrical version. The film recently surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to become the highest-grossing Indian film of all time. With the extended version now scheduled for January 17, fans can expect even more thrilling moments as Pushpa 2 continues to set new milestones at the box office.
