Looking at Ram Charan and NTR who have been globe trotting with RRR, our hero Allu Arjun also seemed to have got the international itch. He made his Pushpa cross the boundaries and reach Russia.
The team went to Moscow to promote and release the film. Don't know if they have anticipated seeing the Russians starting a new mannerism saying 'thaggedele' and Putin dancing for 'Hey Bidda Idi Naa Adda' song.
But as expected nobody bothered about the film and the film incurred a loss of Rs 3 Cr, which means the total investment on Russian promotions has gone wasted.
Rashmika, Allu Arjun, Sukumar and team enjoyed a pleasant holiday trip at the cost of the producer and nothing happened after that.
Pushpa screened a special premiere on Dec 1st in Moscow and on Dec 3rd in St Petersburg. The film was also screened in 24 Russian cities on Dec 8th.
Sources say that the Pushpa team anticipated a direct release of Pushpa-2 simultaneously in Russian language had the first part of Pushpa pulled some traction there.
