Logline for the movie reads, "Violence erupts between red sandalwood smugglers and the police charged with bringing down their organization in the Seshachalam forests of South India." Pushpa's dream run at the ticket counters worldwide has surprisingly surpassed the collections of the biggest box-office hits from different language industries, creating a new box office record for Allu Arjun.

After extending its theatrical run and getting amazing responses at the Box Office, the Hindi version of the movie had marked its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video. After the pan-India success of Pushpa: The Rise, the actor is all set to gear up for its sequel, Pushpa: The Rule, which will have Fahadh Faasil and Rashmika share the screen space with him again.
