Pushpa 2: The Rule is an upcoming Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed and written by Sukumar under his Sukumar Writings banner and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar under their Mythri Movie Makers banner.

It is the second installment in the Pushpa film series and the sequel to Pushpa: The Rise.

10% of the film's footage was initially shot back-to-back with the original film.

Made on a budget of ₹500 crore, [1] the film is one of the most expensive Indian films to date. It is scheduled to release on 15 August 2024, [2] coinciding with India's Independence Day.
