Pushpa: The Rise, starring Allu Arjun, ranked among the highest-grossing movies in recent memory. The movie, which cost between 170 and 200 crores to produce, generated between 355 and 365 crores at the box office, and Pushpa 2 has been much anticipated by fans. The financial information for Pushpa: The Rule is now public, and it appears to be somewhat terrible for its creators.
Following Pushpa: The Rise's success in both Hindi and Telugu, the movie's budget was amended, and the actors and crew received more pay. Now that we know the specifics, we can compare the cost to the budget.
Allu Arjun would reportedly receive Rs 125 crores in compensation for Pushpa: The Rule, according to a Telugu360 report. According to additional sources, Sukumar will receive compensation for the second instalment in the amount of Rs 75 crores. Mythri Movie Makers, the film's production company, will have to spend a lot of money because alone the lead actor and director's fees total Rs 200 crores. They had no choice but to proceed with the agreement given the success of the previous movie.
Allu Arjun and Sukumar's earnings for Pushpa: The Rule are disclosed here, but estimates indicate that the movie's production costs, including interest and marketing expenses, are estimated to total Rs 150 crores. This means that the second Pushpa installment's overall budget is anticipated to be in the range of Rs 350 crores. According to the source, the filmmaker pledged to finish the filming on short timelines in order to stay inside budget.
The story also mentioned that the production company, Mythri Movie Makers, had been instructed not to close any non-theatrical transactions since Allu Aravind would handle all of the deals for Pushpa: The Rule before the film's premiere.
The primary actor and director of the movie will receive the aforementioned sum, but is that all they will receive for this instalment? Okay, no. According to the sources, Mythri Movie Makers will only be entitled to 20% of the film's earnings, with Allu Arjun and Sukumar receiving 40% apiece. If the movie does well, the returns compared to what they are investing would be very small. If the movie fails, the production company would be under a lot of pressure.
Regarding the non-financial components of the movie, Pushpa: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, will start shooting in the middle of August with a 2023 post-summer release in mind. Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Srivalli again, is featured in the movie as well.
