Netflix Can Go All Out With Pushpa?

Digital streaming giant Netflix has acquired the post theatrical OTT rights of Pushpa 2. The film is likely to stream on Netflix, eight weeks after it’s theatrical release.

Coming to the topic to it, could perhaps be argued that Netflix can make a huge deal from the world of Pushpa.

Thanks to the success of the first part and the insane box office potential of the second part. Pushpa is already a massive product with a wide footprint.

So if at all Netflix decides to explore more content from the Pushpa world, be it an action drama series based on the characters or animation stuff like how Disney+ Hotstar did with Baahubali, there are endless opportunities here.

The Pushpa character appears to be a huge deal in the Hindi speaking belts already. If at all Netflix decides to use this potential in their favour to boost their market in the Hindi belts, then things could get really interesting.

Amazon prime, anyway, let go of the opportunity to retain the second part, and this leaves Netflix with the opportunity to explore the potential to the fullest.

If Netflix can come up with some interesting web series stuff, then sky is the limit here. But the issue will be that the world of Pushpa is still kept alive by Sukumar and Allu Arjun. So the requisite permissions to spin of a web series from this world will be tough.

That being said, even Sukumar said the world of Pushpa was designed for a web series, so if he does indeed plans to collaborate with Netflix for a show at a point in time, then this could be a huge deal.
