Pushpa 2 to have a massive runtime?

According to the buzz on social media, Pushpa 2 has locked a runtime of over 3 hours and 21 minutes. This is quite a long runtime for a Telugu feature film in recent years. The last movie that had such a runtime was Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

Not only this, reports have stated that the second half of the film will run for over 1 hour and 41 minutes. The reception of long runtime movies has been mixed. Films like Salaar (2 hours 55 minutes), Kalki 2898 AD (3 hours and 1 minute), Devara (2 hours 45 minutes) and Kanguva (3 hours) have not been able to strike a chord with audiences as expected. Another aspect here is that, reportedly, a threequel in the Pushpa franchise is also in the works, as hinted by Allu Arjun and the film's producer. If that is the case, the question remains where the Pushpa saga is headed, storywise.

Rashmika drops a hint about Pushpa 3

Rashmika Mandanna, who has officially wrapped up the shooting for Pushpa: The Rule, penned an emotional note on completing her five-year journey on the film’s set and even hinted towards the third part of the movie.

“Out of the 7/8 years, the last 5 years being on this set almost made this set my home in the industry, and finally it was my last day. Of course, there's still so much work left and apparently a part 3, but it felt different... it felt overwhelming... it felt like it was ending," she shared in her note, hinting at Pushpa 3.
