The anticipation for the sequel to Pushpa is sky-high, especially in the North. Pushpa's character, mannerisms, dialogues, and dance moves have struck a chord with the Northern audience, leading to massive popularity. 

Kalki and Devara, the key characters in the film, have also attracted significant attention, with the North rights for Kalki fetching 100 crores and Devara fetching 50 crores. With the withdrawal of competing Bollywood films like "Singam Again," Pushpa 2 has a clear path to success in the North, where it's expected to rival the box office collections of blockbusters like Baahubali 2 and KGF 2. 

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, is slated for a grand release on August 15.
