Speaking about Pushpa 2, it is exciting to report that Allu Arjun will be reprising his role from ‘Pushpa – The Rise’ in the sequel, and filming is scheduled to begin in the middle of October. This is great news for fans of the ‘Pushparaj’ series. The muhurat puja for the upcoming film ‘Pushpa – The Rule,’ which is the sequel to the critically acclaimed film ‘Pushpa,’ was performed by the filmmakers earlier this month.

Sukumar, the director, was present at the muhurat ceremony. Due to the fact that he was travelling at the time, Allu Arjun was unable to make it to the occasion.

Since the release of ‘Pushpa – The Rise’ in theatres in 2021, Allu Arjun has established himself as a major star across the entirety of India. His mannerisms in the film are now being mimicked by both regular people and famous people alike.

The film, which had an estimated production budget of roughly Rs 200 crore, became the highest-grossing film worldwide in the months immediately following the third wave of the epidemic.
