In an effort to find possible worldwide audiences, the film is being played at the European Film Market while Allu Arjun is present at the Berlin Film Festival. Regarding the Pushpa films, Arjun told Variety.com, "You can definitely expect part three, we do want to make it a franchise and we have exciting ideas for the lineup. I just want to see how people abroad are going to see this film, and try to understand how they view Indian cinema, just understand how film festivals are and what kind of films are watched and what is the mindset of the people that come there.”

He went on to discuss the comments he had received regarding the movie from both Indian and international viewers.

He shared, “I didn’t find much of a difference [between] the way the urban Indians have watched the film and the people overseas. And I think urban Indians are similar to global audiences. So, all the things that they have liked in terms of the candidness of the film or the performances, I’ve got similar feedback from urban audiences in India and overseas.”

With the release of Pushpa 1: The Rise in 2021, Allu Arjun emerged as the country's new national celebrity. In the movie, he played Pushpa, a red-sanders smuggler who starts off as a daily wage worker but eventually rises to the position of empire-builder. In fact, he took home the Best Actor National Film Award.
