Pushpa 2 is set for release in literally a day. Paid premieres in India will begin around 9:30 p.m., and overseas bookings opened well in advance.
However, there is some confusion about the U.S. show timings and whether they will align with the Indian shows.

While this is unfolding just hours before the release, an interesting observation has surfaced. One of the key characters from Pushpa: The Rise is entirely absent from the promotional activities for the sequel.
The missing figure is none other than Fahadh Faasil, who played Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the first part.

The second part is expected to feature Fahadh in a significant role, given how the first installment ended.
Yet, surprisingly, he has not been seen or heard from in any promotional materials.

He hasn’t appeared in the media or spoken about his role or the film.
Interestingly, Allu Arjun even went to Kochi for a grand pre-release event. Despite being a well-known star in Kerala, Fahadh Faasil did not attend the event.
While this absence doesn’t necessarily indicate anything negative, it does raise questions about why a key cast member has been completely silent, especially for the Malayalam audience.
The answers may come soon as the first talk emerges from the massive number of paid premiere shows planned in India and the U.S.
