The much-awaited sequel, Pushpa: The Rule, directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, is generating immense excitement as it continues the story of Pushpa Raj, first introduced in Pushpa: The Rise (2021). Global fans are eagerly tracking updates about this major project, and recent viral news has added to the anticipation, hinting that young actress Sreeleela may join the cast.
Sukumar’s films are known for their iconic dance numbers, which have become massive crowd-pleasers. Songs like “Aa Ante Amalapuram,” “Ringa Ringa,” and “Jigelu Rani” are notable examples. In Pushpa: The Rise, the song “Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava,” with Allu Arjun in a mass avatar and Samantha in a classy look, was a phenomenal hit. For Pushpa: The Rule, the team has hinted at another high-energy dance sequence, and Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor was initially considered for this special number. However, reports suggest that Shraddha could not join the project due to budget constraints, and the team approached Sreeleela instead. Given that both Allu Arjun and Sreeleela are known for their exceptional dance skills, fans are eagerly looking forward to a powerful performance that promises to bring theaters alive.
The Pushpa series is set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling and traces Pushpa Raj’s journey from a laborer to a powerful figure in the syndicate. Pushpa: The Rule will explore the challenges he faces next and how he confronts them. Rashmika Mandanna reprises her role as the lead actress, while Devi Sri Prasad returns as the music director. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is currently in the production phase and is set for a worldwide release on December 5.
