'Pushpa 2: The Rule' (Reloaded Version) is now available for streaming on the OTT platform, giving fans who missed its theatrical run a chance to enjoy the film from the comfort of their homes. Released on January 30, 2025, this version includes an additional 23 minutes of footage.
While many viewers are excited about the OTT release, some have expressed disappointment over the absence of the Kannada-dubbed version. Netflix had previously announced that this version would be available soon but opted to release the Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam versions first. The makers wrote, "Load? Fully loaded. Pushpa 2? Reloaded Watch Pushpa 2: The Reloaded Version with 23 extra minutes on Netflix, out now in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam! Kannada coming soon."
This decision has led to frustration among Kannada-speaking fans who are eagerly awaiting their opportunity to watch the film in their language.
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some users questioning the OTT giant about the delay in releasing the Kannada version. Comments like "Why no Kannada streaming Pushpa 2?" as the fans feel left out.
