Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s Pushpa 2: The Rule took the box office by storm during its theatrical release last year. The pan-India action drama amassed close to Rs 1871 crore, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian movie of all time.
We all know the kind of sensation Pushpa: The Rise had created across the globe. Several national and international celebrities recreated Pushpa Raj’s ‘Thaggede Le’ gesture, and the videos and memes trended globally for several months. And now, Pushpa 2: The Rule has achieved a humongous feat by featuring in the popular NBA.
A video of cheerleaders at the NBA setting the Toyota Center on fire with their electrifying dance performance of Pushpa 2’s ‘Peelings’ song has been going viral on social media currently. Peelings was performed during the Houston Rockets vs. Milwaukee Bucks game halftime yesterday. This is yet another instance of Indian cinema making its presence felt on the global stage.
Composed by Devi Sri Prasad, Peelings was penned by Chandrabose and crooned by Shankarr Babu Kandukoori and Laxmi Dasa, with Malayalam lyrics by Siju Thuravoor. The film’s lead actors, Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, set the screens on fire with their energetic moves and chemistry. The song was choreographed by Sekhar Master.
