According to Sandhu, Pushpa 2 is shaping up to be a "BLOCKBUSTER PAISA VASOOL entertainer", promising a cinematic experience that will appeal to both the masses and classes. Director Sukumar's expertise and Allu Arjun's star power take center stage, with the film being described as a true spectacle set to break records and emerge as the biggest hit of the year.
