On the eve of Pushpa star Allu Arjun, the makers have released a unique concept video, #HuntForPushpa which announces Pushpa 2: The Rule.
The unique character of Allu Arjun and the songs resonated across the world and the visuals created by Sukumar took the screens by storm. Pushpa has since transitioned to being more than a film and has become Pop-Culture with its iconic dialogues becoming people-speak. From cricketers to celebrities to politicians everyone has used Pushpa references across platforms.
The video begins with everyone hunting for Pushpa after he escapes from the prison as they also talk about how great he was. Towards the end of the teaser, it shares a glimpse of Allu Arjun as Pushpa who has wrapped himself in a shawl as he hides in a jungle.
Written and directed by Sukumar, Pushpa: The Rise was released in 2021. It depicted the rise of a coolie in the smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood. Besides Allu Arjun, the film also starred Rashmika Mandanna in the lead. Sai Pallavi and Fahadh Faasil have also reportedly joined Pushpa 2.
It is also said the plot of the sequel will be a closure to Pushpa Raj’s life. His childhood and relationships with his father and half-siblings will be explored in Pushpa 2. The clash between Pushpa and Bhanwar Singh (Fahadh Faasil) will continue in this epic conclusion to the two-parted series.
