With Mythri Movie Makers holding firm to their commitment, a domino effect has rippled through the industry. Other production houses, wary of clashing with the anticipated blockbuster, have steered clear of the Independence Day slot. It's a race against time for Pushpa 2, with every day crucial.
While shooting isn't quite finished, reports suggest an item song and another song remain on the docket. Director Sukumar also faces the challenge of wrapping up extensive VFX work on the film. It's a familiar scenario – Pushpa: The Rise faced similar last-minute pressures, resulting in composer Devi Sri Prasad expressing his dissatisfaction with the final BGM.
To avoid a repeat, the team is aiming to have the first copy of the film complete by the third week of July. However, a crucial aspect remains – filming Fahadh Faasil's scenes. While insiders point to Sukumar's growing impatience due to the date constraints, the entire team is pushing forward with unwavering determination, with Allu Arjun himself extending his full support.
The pressure cooker doesn't stop there. Pre-production for the next shooting schedule is also underway, adding another layer to the logistical puzzle. Mythri Movie Makers are yet to finalize business deals, particularly in the North Indian market, where the demand for Pushpa 2 is reportedly reaching a fever pitch. This translates to potentially skyrocketing rates for distribution rights.
While Pushpa, playfully downplays expectations, the hype surrounding Pushpa 2 continues to build. The upcoming trailer launch in late June is poised to be a pivotal moment, potentially solidifying the film's box office dominance. Can the team deliver a masterpiece while meeting the tight deadline? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Pushpa 2 is a film to watch.
