The upcoming blockbuster, Pushpa 2 – The Rule, is poised to make waves with its anticipated release in Japan on January 16, 2026, where it will be titled Pushpa Kunrin. Superstar Allu Arjun is set to make a memorable entrance in the film, marking his debut scene from within a container at a port in Japan. As the release date approaches, Arjun is gearing up for a legal visit to Japan, during which he will participate in promotional events to engage with fans.
The film’s premiere in Japan is being facilitated by Geek Pictures in collaboration with Shochiku, which has sparked heightened excitement among audiences. To accompany the launch, a vibrant poster featuring Arjun’s characteristic style—complete with sunglasses and floral attire—has been released, along with a specially crafted Japanese trailer appearing on YouTube.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation for Arjun’s visit, with one Twitter user asking about his participation in the promotional events. Notably, Arjun’s manager, Sarath Chandra Naidu, responded to the inquiry, confirming, “Yes, he is,” which significantly fueled the excitement on social media even though he wasn’t directly tagged in the question.
Moreover, the film has already made a splash with its initial 200-minute release in India and internationally. Following its impressive box office performance, the creators have decided to release an extended version of 222 minutes, which will also be screened in Japan.
The impending release of Pushpa Kunrin, along with Allu Arjun’s first visit to Japan, highlights the expanding influence of Indian cinema on a global scale. This collaboration and celebration of culture promise an engaging experience for Japanese audiences, marking another chapter in the international success of Indian films.
