In a surprising move, the release date for ‘Pushpa 2’ has been shifted to 5th December, a day earlier than before. This change has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, considering the impact this move could have.
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres along with ‘Chhaava’, starring Vicky Kaushal. This move provides a strategic advantage to Pushpa, along with raising questions about Chhaava.

If both films had made their debut on the same day, people might have waited for word-of-mouth on Pushpa 2 on the release date, increasing Chhaava’s opening attendance.
However, Pushpa 2 releasing a day early completely changes the whole dynamic.

Now if word-of-mouth about Pushpa 2 turns out to be positive, it could prove disastrous for Chhaava on its opening day as more people would prefer to watch Allu Arjun on day 2.
Pushpa 2 carries the success of its predecessor with it, making it even tougher for Chhaava to come anywhere close to matching Allu Arjun’s craze on screen.

But things could take a turn if the Day 1 opinions for Pushpa 2 turn out to be not-so-positive. This could lead to people deciding to give a chance to Chhaava on 6th December, leading to an increase in footfalls.
While this seems unlikely, fans are still very much excited to see the competition between the two films as they go for a head-to-head showdown later this year.
