The much-awaited TV debut of Pushpa 2 will take place on April 13 and 14, 2025, across major regional general entertainment channels — Star Maa, Colors Kannada, Asianet, and Star Vijay. The multilingual broadcast is positioned as one of the year’s biggest television events and a key commercial play for JioStar.
The premiere has attracted national advertisers such as Procter & Gamble, Tata Commercial Vehicles, Crompton Greaves, Britannia, Airtel, Zydus, Symphony, Pidilite, Mondelez (Cadbury India), LG Hing, Hindustan Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, Matrimony, Tata Neu, Pepsi, OTTO, Inbisco, Eyetex, Ultratech and Berger Paints. Regionally dominant brands like Vasanth & Co, Pittappillil, Meralda Jewels, Prithvi, Swastik Spices, Regal Jewellers, Josco Jewellers, and Kaleesuwary have also signed on.
Pushpa 2 had already made headlines when it dropped on Netflix on January 30, 2025, after a 56-day theatrical run. Netflix is reported to have paid ₹275 crore for digital rights to a “Reloaded” version of the film that includes 23 minutes of additional footage.
JioStar also denied sharing how much it paid for the television rights.
“Pushpa 2: The Rule has cemented its place as a cultural landmark, resonating far beyond the boundaries of traditional storytelling. It embodies the perfect blend of entertainment, fandom, and expansive reach. As we bring this highly anticipated title to television, we are excited to bring the unique opportunity to connect authentically with highly engaged regional audiences. This robust brand alliance of 28 brands demonstrates how JioStar’s premium content becomes a driver of measurable value across markets and languages,” said Ajit Varghese, Head of Revenue, Entertainment & International, JioStar. To build momentum around the launch, JioStar has rolled out an on-air campaign called The Pushpa 2 Experience across its South Indian channels. The campaign features behind-the-scenes clips, action sequences, cast discussions, and interactive content aimed at deepening fan engagement. With its successful theatrical run, a high-value OTT deal, and now a multi-channel television premiere packed with advertising muscle, Pushpa 2: The Rule is on track to deliver yet another milestone for the franchise and its media partners.
