Both films were originally scheduled to be released just a day apart, with Pushpa 2 releasing on December 5, and Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava making its release on December 6.
But the massive success of Pushpa, along with the increasing star power of Allu Arjun across India has forced team Chhaava to go on the defence by avoiding a direct clash that could affect ticket sales.

While some have acknowledged it as a move to maximize BO potential, others see it as a missed opportunity for a big Bollywood-Tollywood clash.
The roles of Rashmika Mandanna in both films also build up huge anticipation among fans. Rashmika plays the role of ‘Yesubai’ in Chhaava while reprising her iconic role as ‘Srivalli’ in Pushpa 2.
One fan hilarious penned his thoughts, “Can’t believe we have to choose which Rashmika film to watch first!”
Another user voiced his concerns for Chhaava despite the rescheduling of dates, “It’s a shame Chhaava has to face Pushpa 2. I hope it doesn’t lose attention”
This change in the release date would surely benefit both films, as both of them will get their own chances to shine at the BO, making Cinema the ultimate winner in the end.
