Pushpa 2 Fight Scene Inspired by Japanese Film?

The intense fight scene from Pushpa 2: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun, has taken the internet by storm. In the sequence, Allu Arjun's character brutally defeats his opponents, even with his hands tied, by biting their necks. The action is being widely praised for its gripping execution and power.

However, netizens have pointed out a striking similarity between this scene and a famous battle from the Japanese movie Rurouni Kenshin. In that film, the protagonist fights opponents using martial arts in a similar manner, though without the exaggerated stunts seen in Pushpa 2. While there are differences, the core idea behind both fight sequences seems to be quite similar.

In today's film industry, audiences are often more focused on the end product and box office success rather than where a scene is "inspired" from. Filmmakers take care to avoid direct copying and instead offer creative reinterpretations. This fight sequence in Pushpa 2 could be seen as one such instance of drawing inspiration while maintaining originality.
