The stakes are too high for Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise, which is due in cinemas today.
The film marks the reunion of director Sukumar, actor Allu Arjun and music composer Devi Sri Prasad, a hit combo in Telugu cinema, after more than 10 years.
The gruelling last-minute post-production work kept Sukumar from promotions. And even the lead cast and crew were busy with dubbing until December 10.
The responsibility of creating awareness about the film, outside the Telugu states, and getting people excited about it fell on the shoulders of the film’s lead cast, Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna.
In the last four days, the duo visited Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi and Mumbai. They gave interviews, met fans and tried to make headlines as much as possible.
