Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' which has released today on December 5, across the world is creating immense stir. The movie's euphoria can be gauged from the fact that it's expected to have a worldwide gross box office of Rs 250 crore on Day 1. As per the early reviews, it's a blockbuster and a solid, massy, entertainer. Most fans who've watched the film are talking about the 'Jathara' scene from the film. However, as per a report, that scene is cut by the Saudi Arabia censor board.
The censor board of Saudi Arabia has heavily scrutised the scene and according to a report by News18, the officials have highly objected to it. The reason being that despite being portrayed as a hero of the movie, he is dressed as a Goddess for that particular scene. The fact that the film has extensive references to Hindu deities was also a matter of concern for them.
