Recently, rumors circulated about the film’s OTT release in January, but the producers, Mythri Movie Makers, dismissed them. They posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, saying, “There are rumors about the OTT release of #Pushpa2TheRule. Enjoy the Biggest Film #Pushpa2 only on the Big Screens this holiday season. It won’t be on any OTT before 56 days! It’s #WildFirePushpa only in theatres worldwide.”
Arjun was arrested on December 13 and released on December 14 after the Telangana High Court granted him a 4-week interim bail. The actor’s arrest was related to the death of a fan at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of his film. His visit led to a stampede-like situation, causing one death and leaving a young boy in critical condition.
