Pushpa 2 to Feature 20 Minutes of Additional Footage for Sankranti Release

The much-awaited Pushpa 2 is all set to get an exciting update as the makers have announced that 20 minutes of additional footage will be added to the theatrical release. This fresh content will be included in the final version of the film, making it a longer viewing experience for fans. The extended version is slated to hit theatres on January 11, coinciding with the festive occasion of Sankranti.

The addition of 20 minutes of footage to Pushpa 2 means that the film’s runtime will now stretch to a total of 3 hours and 41 minutes. The makers have confirmed that the additional content will be split across both halves of the movie, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.

This decision to release the extended version was initially intended for a Christmas or New Year release. However, the filmmakers strategically chose to debut the longer cut during the Sankranti festival season, one of the most auspicious and highly anticipated times in the Telugu film industry. With multiple big releases around Sankranti, the extended runtime of Pushpa 2 will surely add an exciting new layer for fans flocking to theatres during this festive period.

The announcement comes as Tollywood gears up for a fierce box-office battle this Sankranti, with several high-profile films releasing around the same time. Alongside Pushpa 2, titles like Game Changer, Sankranthiki Vastunnam, and Daku Maharaj are expected to create a buzz. Given the competitive landscape, securing enough screens for Pushpa 2’s extended version may pose a challenge, especially considering the demand for other films.

OTT Release: Extended Version Coming Soon to Netflix

Not to worry, though—fans who miss out on the theatrical release of the extended version need not wait long. The reloaded edition of Pushpa 2, with the 20 minutes of additional footage, will also be available on Netflix soon after its theatrical run. This ensures that the global audience will get a chance to experience the extended film, regardless of their location.
