'Pushpa 2' seems to be out of the Independence Day race. The Allu Arjun-starrer won't be hitting the cinemas on August 15, it looks like.
On Wednesday night, an interesting development emerged in Bollywood. 'Khel Khel Mein', a big-ticket movie starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, was advanced from September 6 to August 15.
The buzz is that the distributor of the Hindi version of 'Pushpa 2' had conveyed that the Sukumar directorial won't be released on I-Day. That's why Akshay's movie has been advanced to capitalize on the public holiday.
There is talk that Sukumar has failed to stir his team into action to meet the deadline of August 15. Some portions are left to be shot nearly 1.5 years after the film went on the floors. The 'Rangasthalam' maker is notorious for never meeting the deadlines. With 'Pushpa 2', though, he has doubled down on his notoriety.
