"His was a premature birth. We are rich and so, we could get him treated. The same infant is now 6-ft tall. Since then, I started thinking about poor people. How would they save their kids? This made me embark on this cause of financing the surgeries of poor kids", Mahesh said.## Mahesh Babu, meanwhile, has been recovered from the covid-19 and tested negative. He also attended the 13th-day rituals of his brother Ramesh Babu who died after a prolonged illness.## On the work front, Mahesh Babu will next be seen in Parsuram's directorial "Sarkaru Vaari Paata".

Manish Shah Of Goldmines Telefilms Predicts Box Office Fate Of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule'

Mumbai, January 22 - Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" (Part 1), which was released on December 17, shocked the industry and trade experts with its phenomenal box office outcome in the dubbed Hindi version. This Sukumar-directed, however, has had an average opening in Hindi, but strong word of mouth helped it put up a strong show at the box office, clocking Rs. 90 crores in Hindi till now. ## Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms has the Hindi dubbed rights and it is said that he generated over Rs. 40 crores profit from the theatrical release of the film. He is now looking optimistic about the box office potential of part two, titled "Pushpa - The Rule". The hype for "Pushpa 2" is already sky-high, and it could repeat what Prabhas' "Baahubali - The Conclusion" did in Hindi belts. ## "Pushpa 2" is slated to go on floors in April 2022, and the makers are eyeing to release it in December this year. Manish Shah, during a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, had said that the movie might not release this year but he is confident that it will be a historic blockbuster and might even break "Baahubali 2's" box office record in Hindi. ## "In my opinion, Pushpa 2 – The Rule is going to be a historic blockbuster. I don't know how many records it will break", he said. Baahubali 2 had made a whopping Rs. 510 crores in Hindi (highest ever in Hindi). Shah believes that if executed well, "Pushpa 2" can break that record.## "Well, there's a possibility. Baahubali's first part collected Rs. 120 crores. Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 will end up with a lifetime of Rs. 93-94 crores. Therefore, the difference is only 30%. 50% zyada mehnat kar di hum sab ne to Pushpa 2 Baahubali 2 ka record tod degi! (If we have worked 50% more, then Pushpa 2 will break the record of Bahubali 2)", he added.## The script of "Pushpa 2" is currently being developed by Sukumar. It is said that the second part will have one more antagonist besides Fahadh Faasil, who will be the main villain in the film. Rashmika Mandanna played the female lead and will continue her role in part two as well. It is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media.## Stay tuned...

Hyderabad, January 20 - Allu Arjun Starrer Pushpa: The Rise has become a monster hit at the Hindi box office with extraordinary trending across weeks. Pushpa: The Rise which started with a decent first-day figure of around 3cr, now has a chance to cross 100cr at the box office which will be an out-of-the-world achievement for the film and the makers. Pushpa: The Rise has also beaten the figures of Ranveer Singh's 83 in many markets now which is again a phenomenal achievement.

He also called AVPL the biggest non-Baahubali hit down South.

'Pushpa - The Rise' Continues To Light Up Hindi Box Office Despite OTT Premiere

Mumbai, January 17 - Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" is proving to be a long racehorse in the Hindi version. Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa" hasn't been affected by the early OTT premiere, especially in the Hindi version as it continues to light up the box office. ## "Pushpa - The Rise" had a digital premiere of the Hindi version on January 14 on Amazon Prime Video after 28 days of theatrical release. Before "Pushpa" was started premiering on Prime Video, it had already netted over Rs. 84 crores in Hindi, making it the 3rd biggest Hindi total during the covid-19 pandemic. ## However, even after the OTT release, the Hindi version of the film continues to draw footfalls at the cinema halls as it netted approx Rs. 4.50 crores in the 5th weekend at the box office, taking the total collections to approx. Rs 89 crore. With no competition at the moment, the movie is taking the full use of a clear path and attracting people to theaters despite the covid-19 3rd wave and OTT premier. ## Maharashtra and Gujrat are driving the Hindi biz of "Pushpa - The Rise" and these two states are key in the film's race to enter Rs. 100 crores club. Though the 100 crores milestone is looking far from reality with the things at the moment, it could still have a last big shot if the covid-19 situation doesn't get worsen. ## With the success of "Pushpa" in Hindi, Allu Arjun proved his stardom in Hindi belts. Over the years, the actor's movies have drawn the attention of Hindi audiences on television, and "Pushpa" was the first major test to prove his stardom right. It is safe to say, he has not only passed the test but also raised the expectations for his upcoming films. ## The Telugu makers have already decided to release the Hindi version of Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde's 2020 blockbuster "Ala Vaikunthapurramloo" on January 26. Interestingly, the Hindi remake of the AVPL, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon is already under production and will release in November 2022. However, the makers have also decided to release the dubbed version due to the heavy demand for the film. Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms and AA Films will release the Hindi version. ## Stay tuned...
