Pan India film Pushpa 2: The Rule is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil with Allu Arjun, this film will be released in December. Its first part was a huge hit in December 2022. The film was released against Bollywood's 83 and Hollywood Spider Man Homecoming, but still, it was able to defeat both at the Indian box office. Now, the makers are expecting something similar with the sequel. And to keep up the excitement of the fans, makers and cast of Pushpa 2: The Rule are sharing each and every detail of the film, with the latest being its certification.
Pushpa 2: The Rule receives its certificate
Allu Arjun, the lead of Pushpa 2, took to his Instagram profile to share the latest update. His film has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification of India. For the unversed, a U/A certificate means that the film cannot be viewed by anyone below the age of 12 in Indian theatres.

'Pushpa 2: The Rule' makers have to change three dialogues
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has directed 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' to undergo three minor changes in its dialogues and minor scene changes. The Indian censor board allowed the makers of the Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer to go ahead with its scheduled release after suggesting muting of three expletives.
The censor certificate states that the film has a runtime of 3 hours 20 minutes and 38 seconds (200.38 minutes). Talking about the first part, 'Pushpa: The Rule' had a runtime of 2 hours and 59 minutes. Incidentally, exactly a year ago, 'Animal' was released and it was 203 minutes long. The Ranbir Kapoor starrer was a huge blockbuster. Now it remains to be seen if 'Pushpa 2 - The Rule' can follow this suit.
Pushpa 2 clears its way before release
For those who don't know, Vicky Kaushal's second film of 2024 after Bad Newz was going to be released on December 6. Kaushal has played the role of Sambhaji Rao in this film titled Chhaava. However, now, the makers have decided to release the film in 2025. This also means that the film will now have a clear path and the only option for theatre audiences. On the other hand, recent releases like Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, I Want To Talk, Kanguva, All We Imagine As Light and Amaran will be out of most Indian theatres. In short, Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 is going to have a clear run at cinemas.
On the other hand, it also seems like Chhaava makers don't want the same fate as Kabir Khan and Ranveer Singh's 83. In terms of performance and storyline, 83 was a better film than Pushpa: The Rule. However, the audience opted for the over-the-top fictional film rather than a good real-life-based film. Chhaava is also a film based on real life and its makers would expect the audiences to at least give it a fair chance.
