    Pushpa takes over prime time as Zee Cinema readies for a wild premiere

    MUMBAI: Get your popcorn ready and your seetis sharpened Pushpa is about to rule your TV screen! Zee Cinema has locked in 31 May 2025 at 7:30pm for the World Television Premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, and let’s just say this one’s not arriving quietly. It’s stomping in, red sand and all.

    After setting the box office ablaze and spawning more viral trends than you can count on your fingers (and toes), Allu Arjun’s swaggering return as Pushpa Raj is ready to take over Indian living rooms. Directed by Sukumar, the mega blockbuster also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil and Jagapathi Babu, serving up a storm of action, drama, music and chest-thumping dialogue that promises to echo through every household.

    More than a film, Pushpa 2 is pure pop-culture combustion. From the moment Arjun’s Pushpa growled “Fire nahi, wildfire hai”, the film became a movement. It tore through the North-South divide with ease and established Pushpa not just as a character, but as a full-blown phenomenon.

    And now, the man who bows to no one is bringing his unrelenting Rule to TV. Expect explosive confrontations, especially the highly anticipated face-off with Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played with icy menace by Fahadh Faasil. Add in foot-tapping bangers like Angaaron, Pushpa Pushpa and Peelings, and you’ve got a family entertainer that’s anything but tame.

    So if you missed the theatre frenzy or simply want another taste of that red-hot rage, mark the date: 31 May, 7:30pm, Zee Cinema. This isn’t just a premiere, this is Pushpa, and he’s about to turn your screen into his jungle.
