Bengaluru: The much-anticipated movie Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has a massive fan base in Karnataka. However, the movie team faced a setback as the Bengaluru District Commissioner issued a strict order against its screening.
The violation of scheduled show timings prompted the order. Some theaters in Bengaluru were found screening Pushpa 2 before the permissible hours, going against the Karnataka government’s regulations. The government mandates that no movie screenings occur before 6:00 AM in the state.
Despite this rule, certain theaters organized special fan shows as early as 3:45 AM. This led the Bengaluru District Commissioner to intervene and enforce the regulations, stopping the screenings.READ THIS-PV Sindhu to Tie the Knot on December 22
