"Pushpa 2: The Rule (Reloaded Version)" is now available for streaming on Netflix, offering fans an opportunity to watch the film digitally after its theatrical release. The film, which continues the gripping journey of Pushpa Raj in the world of red sandalwood smuggling, is available in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. However, the Kannada dubbed version of the film, which was highly anticipated by fans, has yet to make its way onto the platform.
In addition to the film’s release, Netflix's page now features a new bio that reads, “This page is under Pushpa’s Rule,” accompanied by a fire emoji, which has delighted Allu Arjun’s fans and added to the excitement surrounding the digital debut. Fans of the film are eagerly awaiting the Kannada version, but the page's updated bio reflects the massive fan following and hype surrounding Pushpa 2.
Netflix had previously announced that the Kannada version would be released soon, but in its digital debut, the platform prioritized other language versions. A post from Netflix highlighted that the reloaded version of Pushpa 2 comes with an additional 23 minutes of content, stating, "This fire is now alive, and The Rule has begun. Watch Pushpa 2- Reloaded version with 23 extra minutes on Netflix, out now in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam! Kannada coming soon."
Despite this promise, some viewers have expressed frustration over the delay. On social media, several users voiced their disappointment, with one user on X (formerly Twitter) questioning, "Why no Kannada streaming Pushpa 2?" This sentiment was echoed by others in the comment sections, asking, "Where is Kannada?"

The plot of Pushpa 2: The Rule continues from the first film, following Pushpa Raj's rise to power in the smuggling syndicate, after having humiliated police officer Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. The film delves into Pushpa's struggle to maintain his dominance in the illegal trade of red sandalwood, and his partnership with powerful figures, including Minister Kogatam Veera Pratap Reddy. However, personal losses and betrayal test Pushpa's resolve, while a bomb explosion at a wedding hints at a greater conspiracy.
Directed by Sukumar, the film stars Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, Rashmika Mandanna as his wife Srivalli, and Fahadh Faasil as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. The movie is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. Cinematography is by Miroslaw Kuba Brozek, and the editing is done by Naveen Nooli.
In addition to its digital release, Pushpa 2 gained attention due to a tragic incident at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4, 2024, during the film's premiere. A crowd had gathered to see Allu Arjun and the film's team, and the situation led to a tragic accident that resulted in the death of a woman named Revathi, while her child, Sri Teja, was left in critical condition. Allu Arjun was later arrested in connection with the incident, but was subsequently released on bail.
While the Pushpa 2 Kannada version remains awaited by many fans, the film's success across other languages on Netflix has solidified its place in the global streaming market. The continued anticipation surrounding the Kannada release highlights the film's widespread appeal and the power of its loyal fanbase.
