Pushpa 2 Postponed: The highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has encountered an unexpected last-minute hurdle. Initially, fans were eagerly awaiting the film's release in multiple formats, including 2D, IMAX 2D, and 3D, all slated to hit theaters on December 5. However, in a shocking turn of events, reports have now confirmed that the 3D version of the film has been delayed and will instead arrive in theaters a week later, on December 13. 

This unexpected delay may come as a disappointment to fans who were looking forward to experiencing the film in 3D on its initial release date.

The delay in the 3D version of Pushpa 2: The Rule is attributed to the fact that it was not ready in time for the initial release. Consequently, the film will now have a staggered release, premiering exclusively in 2D on December 5, across India and international markets, in multiple languages.

In a gesture of goodwill, fans who had pre-booked tickets for the 3D version of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' will be refunded, as confirmed by sources close to the distribution team. This decision has been made in light of the delay in the 3D version's release and the team is committed to ensuring that fans are not inconvenienced. 

Notably, the refund will also include the difference in ticket prices, as 3D tickets are typically priced higher due to the additional charges for 3D glasses. According to the source, "We will be refunding the difference, as we want to ensure that our patrons are not penalised for the delay. Although this has added to our workload, we're absolutely thrilled by the overwhelming advance bookings for the 2D release, which is a testament to the immense excitement and anticipation surrounding the film."
