Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, is one of the most anticipated pan-Indian films. However, the movie has been mired in controversies even after its release. The latest issue revolves around the removal of the song ‘Dhammoonte Pattukora’, sung by Allu Arjun, from YouTube and other social media platforms by the producers.
The song features a confrontation between Allu Arjun’s character, Pushpa, and Fahadh Faasil’s character, SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. The lyrics, which include lines like “Catch me if you dare,” were criticized for allegedly mocking law enforcement and challenging the police. This backlash came in the wake of a tragic incident during the movie’s premiere show on December 4 in Hyderabad, where a woman lost her life in a stampede caused by overcrowding at the theater.
The victim, a 39-year-old woman named Revathi, was with her husband and children when the chaos erupted as fans rushed to see Allu Arjun. The incident led to allegations of mismanagement, and even Allu Arjun faced legal scrutiny before being released on bail.
Despite the controversies, Pushpa 2 continues to dominate the box office, breaking records with its massive collections. The film picks up from where the first part left off, focusing on the rivalry between Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) and SP Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil). It also delves into Pushpa’s personal life, including his relationship with his wife, Srivalli, and his journey toward reclaiming his identity.
While the film’s success remains unmatched, the controversies surrounding it show no signs of settling. Fans and industry insiders alike are curious to see if any new issues arise in connection with the movie.
