Why Was ‘Pushpa 2’ Not Released in Bengali?
The Telugu blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule has taken the global box office by storm, raking in nearly ₹1,500 crores within just nine days. Packed with action, twists, romance, and surprises, the film has fans raving and is already being hailed as the best of the year—possibly on its way to becoming one of the most successful films of all time.
The plan was to release Pushpa 2 not only in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam but also in Bengali. Trailers and songs in Bengali were released before its theatrical debut, featuring voiceovers by renowned artists like Shreya and others. But despite all the preparations, the Bengali version never saw the light of day. The big question remains: why was Pushpa 2 not released in Bengali after everything was ready?
Reports suggest that the Bengali dubbing was completed by December 2, with a team of top-tier voice artists from Kolkata and screenplay adaptation by renowned poet Srijato. Some artists even faced health challenges due to the workload and tight deadlines.
The film was scheduled to release in theaters on December 5, with extensive preparations in place. However, when the Bengali-dubbed version failed to release, it left the dubbing artists particularly frustrated.
Cinema hall owners claim that Bengali audiences prefer watching Hindi films over Bengali-dubbed versions, making it less viable for them. Releasing a film in an additional language also demands extra resources, both in terms of labor and marketing.
Additionally, some groups within India allegedly oppose the dubbing of South Indian films in Bengali, citing concerns about disrupting the local market. As a result, Pushpa 2's Bengali release was shelved at the last moment, raising doubts about whether future big-budget films will even consider Bengali versions.
Neither the film’s director nor the producers have commented on the issue yet. Fans, however, remain hopeful that if not in theaters, they might eventually get to watch the Bengali-dubbed version on OTT platforms, featuring South Indian superstars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna.
Nikhil Divorced Nusrat, Fell in Love Again
In 2019, Nusrat Jahan, the popular actress from West Bengal tied the knot in a dream wedding with Nikhil Jain in Bodrum, Turkey. The event was a global spectacle. However, their marriage faced turbulence within a year and ended in separation.
Post their split, Nikhil Jain, Nusrat Jahan's ex-husband, is reportedly in a happy relationship with actress Souraseni. Speculations about their romance have been circulating since last year. After keeping their relationship under wraps for a long time, the couple made their bond public on Nikhil's birthday.
From attending a friend's engagement ceremony together to driving through the city streets, Souraseni has been a constant companion to Nikhil. Industry insiders frequently whisper about their budding romance, although neither Nikhil nor Souraseni has officially commented on the matter.
Their relationship appears to have evolved from a professional partnership to a personal one. Souraseni's social media posts on Nikhil's birthday hinted at their close bond. Now, their romance is gradually coming to light.
Recently, the duo was spotted together at a friend's engagement ceremony. Additionally, Souraseni has been seen partying with Nikhil and even riding in his luxurious red car. Their chemistry seems to be growing stronger day by day.
On Nikhil's birthday, Souraseni posted several pictures and wrote, "Let this cycle of arguments and reconciliations continue. Happy Birthday, NJ."
Since then, Nikhil and Souraseni have been seen together frequently. Earlier, they were spotted watching a game at Eden Gardens.
It's worth mentioning that legal marriage never occurred between Nikhil and Nusrat, which explains why their union was referred to as a live-in relationship.
Meanwhile, Nusrat Jahan is happily settled with Yash Dasgupta, with whom she shares a son. On the other hand, Nikhil seems to have found his footing in life, focusing on his business and embracing a new chapter with Souraseni.
