Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule set the box office ablaze in 2024, emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film of the year and surpassing hits like Stree 2 and Kalki 2898 AD. The action-packed sequel continued the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise (2021), cementing Allu Arjun’s dominance.
However, Bollywood fans and netizens are now speculating whether Ranbir Kapoor could topple the Telugu superstar with his upcoming big-budget projects. Social media is abuzz with discussions about Ranbir’s Ramayana: Part 1 and Part 2, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, and Animal Park, the sequel to the hit Animal (2023).
Fans believe that the epic adaptation of the Ramayana, featuring Ranbir as Lord Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana, could bring audiences in droves, especially if the first part strikes a chord. Similarly, Animal Park is expected to capitalize on the hype of its predecessor.
While some netizens also back Shah Rukh Khan’s King as a potential game-changer, the race between Bollywood and South Indian cinema continues to heat up, promising an exciting showdown in the coming year.
