Sukumar Has High Chances To Touch Rajamouli... But...
He would become the third filmmaker to do it after rajamouli and nag ashwin if pushpa 2 were to truly surpass the 1000 crore milestone. Furthermore, it would be no little accomplishment if Sukku were to do this with a commercial picture like pushpa 2, since both rajamouli and Nagi (Kalki) accomplished it with enormous budgets and large event films.
However, in terms of pre-release marketing and promotional efforts, pushpa 2 might not rank in the same league as a Baahubali 2 or RRR. Allu Arjun's appeal in the Northern mass belts and the sequel advantage are hence key factors in whatever pushpa 2 will profit from. Since this is already running late, sukumar must be completely focused on the filming portion for the time being. Discussions are already taking place on his chances of hitting the formidable Rajamouli-driven 1000 crore mark.
