Despite the fanfare surrounding the release, reports suggest that high-definition versions of “Pushpa 2” have surfaced on notorious piracy websites such as Movierulez, Tamilrockerz, Filmyzilla, and Telegram.

The announcement was made on Tuesday by the film's creators, who posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, "Pushpa Raj's dominance is redefining the box office with a new dimension."

The trailer opens with a character describing Pushpa Raj—a man unbothered by fear, wealth, or societal norms but burdened by an unnamed sorrow. As Allu Arjun's Pushpa emerges on screen, the energy surges with action-packed, high-octane sequences and his signature swag. This time around, Pushpa Raj is more powerful, having ascended through the ranks to control the red sanders’ smuggling trade.

Mythri Movie Makers, the production company of the film, explained the delay in a post on their official X handle. They emphasised the heightened responsibility following the success of "Pushpa: The Rise" and assured fans they were working diligently to finish the movie and release it on time.
