The buzz around Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, is at an all-time high nationwide. The recently released trailer in Patna has captivated audiences, garnering millions of views on YouTube. The film is slated for release on December 5, and the makers are actively promoting it with back-to-back updates. Meanwhile, post-production work is also in full swing, with Sukumar working tirelessly to deliver the best output. A recent video shared by the Pushpa 2 team on their official X account gives a glimpse of Sukumar’s dedication, but it has also sparked concerns among cinephiles. Let’s explore why.
Sukumar’s Dedication to the Biggest Movie
The entire nation is eagerly awaiting Pushpa 2, a film starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar. With just two weeks left until the release, fans are counting down the days. Amidst this excitement, the Pushpa 2 team posted an intriguing video on X. It shows Sukumar deeply engrossed in post-production work late at night. The caption highlighted that Sukumar is working “around the clock” for what’s being called the “biggest Indian film.” The video depicts Sukumar reviewing a scene on his laptop while instructing a technical team member. Fans are lauding Sukumar’s dedication, with many appreciating his relentless efforts to ensure the film delivers the best possible outcome.
Why the Concern?
While Pushpa 2 is set to release worldwide on December 5, the fact that Sukumar is still immersed in post-production work has raised concerns. With just two weeks left, many believe the focus should have shifted to promotions by now. Additionally, there are reports that the fourth song is still being shot, starting on Friday, November 22. Adding to this, rumors suggest that the background score work remains incomplete. Reports claim that Sukumar was dissatisfied with Thaman’s initial background score. With so much pending work, fans of Allu Arjun are worried that the release date might get postponed at the last minute.
A Glimpse of ‘Kissik’ Promo
Director Sukumar is known for including iconic special songs in his films, which have their own dedicated fan base. From “Aa Ante Amalapuram” in Arya to “Jigelu Rani” in Rangasthalam, his item numbers have always been chartbusters. The “Oo Antava” song from Pushpa became a nationwide sensation, setting the bar high. In Pushpa 2, the new item number “Kissik” features dancing queen Sreeleela. The lyrical video of “Kissik” is set to release on November 24, and the recently unveiled promo has already created a buzz. The promo indicates that this song is bound to be another hit.

Why the ‘Kissik’ Hype?
Director Sukumar has a tradition of including a must-have item song in his films. However, the buzz surrounding “Kissik” surpasses any of his previous songs. Even “Oo Antava” from Pushpa didn’t create this level of anticipation before its release. Several factors contribute to this hype. The makers have been consistently claiming that Pushpa 2 will surpass its predecessor in every way. This has led audiences to expect “Kissik” to outshine “Oo Antava.” Furthermore, the presence of Sreeleela, known as a better dancer than Samantha, and Allu Arjun’s exceptional dance moves have significantly raised expectations for this song.
