According to sources in the industry, the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster 'Pushpa' has been sold to Netflix for a staggering base price of Rs 250 crore with the potential to reach Rs 300 crore.
This record-breaking deal surpasses the previous deal set by SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' which sold its digital rights for Rs 170 crore. Pushpa 2's digital rights deal is a testament to the growing demand and popularity of the Pushpa franchise cementing Allu Arjun's status as a true Pan-India star.
