A bizarre incident happened during the screening of Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, in Kochi. People, who went to watch the 6:30 pm show of the movie in Cinepolis Centre Square Mall on Friday, were left baffled after the ending credits of the film started flashing half way through the 3 hour 15-min long film.

Understanding that it could be a genuine human error, viewers demanded the first half to be screened later. A man named Tony Chakiath, who had come to watch the film with his boss, told Indian Express the same. “We are in no mood to go back without watching the first half of the movie. At least then we can judge for ourselves how well the climax merges with the first half,” he said.

Considering the demands of the people, the first half of Rashmika Mandanna and Allu Arjun starrer was screened at 9 pm. But by then, most people had left the theatres disappointed. As reported, there were hardly 10 people who stayed back to see rest of the film.
