Covid cases are on the rise in India and theatres are shutting down, which has adversely affected the collection of ‘Pushpa’ (Hindi). While the film is racing towards a promising collection of Rs 95-100 crore, this figure can only be achieved if theatres remain open. ‘Pushpa’ (Hindi) has reportedly defeated the collection of ‘83’ in many circuits, including Mumbai. The film is also earning well in the CP Berar market.
‘Pushpa’ is originally a Telugu-language action drama, which has been released in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi languages. Starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in the lead, this entertainer is written and directed by Sukumar. The film hit the screens on December 17 and a section of the audience had objected to a particular romantic sequence from the movie. The scene in question featured the lead actor touching his love interest’s chest in a public place. It raised eyebrows as the gesture was not liked by the audience. The ‘van scene’ or ‘tiffin scene’ faced a lot of flak from Allu Arjun’s fans and following the uproar, the makers decided to delete the controversial sequence.Apart from its popularity, this Allu Arjun starrer is also being loved for a special dance number by Samantha.
