Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 is making waves in the trade with a staggering $15 million deal for its USA release, a record for a Telugu film. The deal, which is refundable if the film doesn’t meet its breakeven point, highlights the challenges ahead, as profits from the Telugu version alone are unlikely. However, optimism remains high for the Hindi version’s performance, which could set new benchmarks in North America.
