Fri Jan 03 10:53:41 UTC 2025: ## Pushpa 2: The Rule Nears ₹1800 Crore Mark Amidst Allu Arjun’s Legal Battle

**HYDERABAD, INDIA** – Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa 2: The Rule* continues its box office dominance, nearing ₹1800 crore in worldwide collections just four weeks after its release. The film’s team announced on Thursday that the global gross has surpassed ₹1799 crore. This impressive run puts the film on track to potentially surpass *Dangal*’s ₹2000 crore mark. Domestically, *Pushpa 2* has raked in ₹1189.85 crore net, according to Sacnilk.

However, the film’s success is overshadowed by a legal battle surrounding Allu Arjun. The actor is currently facing charges related to a stampede at a *Pushpa 2* premiere in Hyderabad on December 4th, which resulted in one death and injuries. Arjun, who was granted interim bail after a 14-day remand, appeared in court on Friday for a bail hearing.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has added to the pressure, demanding a detailed report from the Hyderabad police chief within four weeks regarding the stampede. The NHRC is investigating allegations that police actions contributed to the chaos. The ongoing investigation and upcoming Sankranthi releases, including *Game Changer*, pose a potential threat to *Pushpa 2*’s continued box office success. Whether the film can maintain its momentum remains to be seen.
