Even some fans opined that the achievements of the KGF 2 trailer were without any big events or promotions but the Pushpa 2 trailer is struggling to get closer to the successes even after hosting massive promotional events across the country, especially in North Belt.

Well, this is not the first time that netizens compared both movies. Earlier, following the release of Pushpa: The Rise, fans flooded social media claiming that Pushpa's storyline has close resemblances with KGF. While Yash's character Rocky is a gold smuggler, Allu Arjun's character is a red sandalwood smuggler. And as claimed by netizens, the storyline is 'same same, but different'.

Even a few claimed that Sukumar has not shared an update on Pushpa 3 as Prashanth Neel is yet to disclose on KGF: Chapter 3.

While Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna will be seen reprising their respective roles of Pushparaj and Srivalli, Fahadh Faasil will be seen locking horns with Pushpa as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. As per the latest reports, Pushpa 2 will have a 'shadow villain' leaving the doors open for future instalments of the franchise. However, there is no official confirmation backing the claims. Well, the audience will get clarity on the same after the movie hits the theatres. Pushpa 2: The Rule is scheduled for theatrical release on December 5.
