The Icon Star Allu Arjun is riding high on Pushpa 2’s gigantic buzz, and the vibe among his fans is today unmatched. Fans organized a special re-release of one of his most favorite movies, Arya 2, on November 5th as a birthday tribute to their idol. The re-release is not only a celebration of the film—it’s a tribute to Allu Arjun’s journey, one that has made him one of the most bankable and fashionable stars of Indian cinema.
With Arya 2 all set to roll back into the theatres, final advance booking figures are out, and they mirror a healthy but moderate buzz from the fans.
Advance Bookings Gross ₹1.27 Cr from 512 Tracked Shows
As of now, Arya 2 has recorded an impressive ₹1.27 crore gross from 512 tracked shows across India. While it may not have shattered records in the re-release segment, it’s still a respectable number, especially considering that this is a decade-old film being re-released in a highly competitive theatrical environment.
The Hyderabad market has turned out to be the highest grosser for advance bookings, ticking in a whopping ₹75 lakh gross. It is no surprise, as the city has remained a bastion for Bunny’s fan following and the yearning to see Arya 2 again has found an emotional connection with the masses there.
In comparison to some of the recent hit re-releases such as Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC) and Salaar, which gathered approximately ₹1.8 crore in pre-bookings, Arya 2 lags marginally behind. But what makes this re-release unique isn’t simply figures—it’s the emotional connect and heritage it carries.
Arya 2: A Cult Favorite with an Offbeat Hero
Released in 2009, Arya 2 is far and away the most unconventional of Telugu rom-action dramas. Directed by Sukumar, forever the experimental filmmaker, the film cast Allu Arjun as one of the most off-beat and multifaceted performances of his life. His turn as the multidimensional and neurotic Arya was a break in many directions. It demonstrated that mainstream heroes could play audacious, grey-hued characters and remain iconically so.
The chemistry among Allu Arjun, Navdeep, and Kajal Aggarwal was one of the highlights of the film, and so was the offbeat screenplay. Arya 2 was not a blockbuster when it released, but over the years, it gained cult status among the fans and film buffs as well.
The music, written by Devi Sri Prasad, is evergreen. Tracks such as “Ringa Ringa,” “Uppenantha,” and “My Love Is Gone” continue to be played at parties and events, holding their ground on playlists even now.
Advance Bookings: A Nostalgia-Driven Push
The re-releases are mostly fan-prompted, and Arya 2 isn’t an exception. The movie is a centerpiece of Allu Arjun’s superstardom ascension, and the fans have been calling for its comeback to the screens for a while now. Reviving it at the big screen just before Bunny’s birthday was the best strategy to mix nostalgia and celebration together.
In spite of not achieving the record-breaking figures some anticipated, the reception has been enthusiastic. Fans hosted dawn fan shows, special viewings, and cut-outs across cities, demonstrating the affection they still have for the movie and the star.
The fact that 512 shows are being followed also speaks of a broad and confident release policy. In the time of re-releases, Arya 2 has fared well in standing on its own.
What Sets Arya 2 Apart in Re-Release Season
The trend of re-releasing classic films is picking up pace fast, particularly in Telugu cinema. From Pokiri to Jalsa, fan screenings have become hugely popular. What sets Arya 2 apart is its content—edgy, forward-thinking, and emotionally raw.
The personality of Arya, with all his psychological depth, is not the conventional “mass hero” type. That’s maybe why the movie did not shatter all box office records in its initial release but proved to be a fan favorite in the long run.
Re-watching such a unique narrative on the big screen offers a new perspective, and that’s what many fans are excited for—not just to relive their favorite moments but to re-experience the intensity and cinematic brilliance of Sukumar’s storytelling and Bunny’s performance.

Conclusion: A Celebration Beyond Numbers
Arya 2’s re-release may not be breaking new records, but it doesn’t need to. Its mere return to theaters is a triumph—for the fans who love the movie, for Allu Arjun who defined his career through such bold roles, and for the team who made a film way ahead of its time.
The last gross bookings advance of ₹1.27 crore might not match recent re-release winners, but the brouhaha, affection, and celebrations it’s creating are unparalleled. Theaters will get to experience cheers, slogans, and goosebumps as Bunny makes a comeback on the big screen in his legendary Arya persona.
This is a re-release of a movie, but it’s more than that—it’s a celebration of an actor’s career, a testament to bold storytelling, and a fan appreciation that gets stronger by the day.
As Bunny fans would say, “Thaggede Le”—and Arya 2 re-release is evidence that some movies get better with time.
