Director
Sukumar's
debut
film
Arya
(2004)
was
a
turning
point
in
Allu
Arjun's
career.
Post
collaborating
with
him
for
its
sequel
(Arya
2-
2009),
the
actor
joined
forces
with
him
for
a
rustic
entertainer
titled
Pushpa:
The
Rise.
The
rural
entertainer
graced
the
theatres
on
December
17
ahead
of
Christmas.
The
film
in
all
its
sense
has
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
winners
of
2021.
Pushpa's
box
office
collection
has
been
impressive
so
far
and
the
film
is
still
running
successfully
in
theatres
despite
facing
a
clash
with
multiple
releases
including
Ranveer
Singh's
83,
Nani's
Shyam
Singha
Roy
and
Tom
Holland's
Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home.
The
film
has
already
completed
two
weeks
of
its
theatrical
run
and
is
all
set
to
enter
its
third
weekend.
Such
is
the
power
of
the
entertainer
that
even
its
screen
count
has
increased
on
week
3.
Yes,
you
heard
us
right!
The
film's
week
1
and
week
2
screen
counts
were
1401
and
1500,
while
the
week
3
screen
count
is
1600,
which
means
that
the
makers
are
expecting
more
crowd
in
the
days
to
come,
given
the
positive
word
of
mouth
and
the
new
year
weekend.
Speaking
about
the
film's
collection
on
day
15,
the
film
witnessed
a
drop
yet
again
on
Friday
as
it
could
only
accumulate
a
collection
between
Rs
20-30
lakh
from
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana.
The
total
share
of
the
film
now
stands
at
Rs
79.20
(share),
while
the
gross
is
Rs
123.01
crore
(Telugu
region)
Directed
by
Sukumar
and
produced
by
Mythri
Movie
Makers
in
association

Media,
the

Mandanna,
