Allu Arjun is all set to reprise his role as the furious Pushpa Raj in the upcoming film Pushpa 2. Movie buffs are eager to know what director Sukumar has in store for the sequel and how he will shape the story. In the first installment, Pushpa Raj, who faced hardships all his life, becomes a red sandalwood smuggler. As a result, he makes several enemies in his struggle-filled journey. As there are still months left in Pushpa 2’s release, discussions around its OTT rights have already begun.
Amazon Prime Video secured the OTT rights of the first installment in the film series, Pushpa: The Rise. The digital platform allegedly paid the makers a whopping $3.6 million to secure its rights. While the same platform was expected to crack a deal for Pushpa 2, things took a drastic turn because Netflix allegedly jumped in with a bigger offer.
