Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 runtime longer than Ranbir Kapoor's Animal?

Icon star Allu Arjun is gearing up for a grand year-ending release with Pushpa 2: The Rule. The Sukumar directorial has been raising anticipation and excitement amongst the fans, who can’t wait to catch the first-day first show of the film. With the price hike, a last-minute item song titled Kissik featuring Sreeleela, and the last day of shooting being on 25th November, the film has already been in the news every other day.

According to reports from some sources close to the film’s production, the final edit of Pushpa 2: The Rule is completed and locked down on a rather lengthy run time of 3 hours and 15 minutes.

This run time seems to be rather uncommon for most drama entertainers. However, considering the recent trend of several other films, such as Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, which also picked up a longer run time of 3 hours and 21 minutes. Fans believe they wouldn’t be disappointed with the theatrical presentation of the Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer.

It seems the makers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it will be a major hit at the box office post-release. From posters, teasers, and trailers to songs, everything about the movie seems to be crafted to perfection.

The film is the sequel to the 2021 release Pushpa: The Rise. Besides Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil are also reprising their characters from the previous installment of the film. The movie will hit theaters on December 5, 2024.
