Pushpa 2 received a clean chit from the CBFC with minimal cuts and a few visual changes. The film has received a U/A certificate making it suitable for public viewing by watched by age groups. The actioner starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil is reported to have a runtime of 3 hours and 20 minutes which is just a minute short of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal (3 hours and 21 minutes) and a little longer than Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD  (3 hours and 1 minute).
