Allu Arjun confirms Pushpa 3
Allu Arjun, the star of the blockbuster film Pushpa: The Rise, has revealed that there will be a third part in the Pushpa franchise. The actor, who is currently attending the Berlin Film Festival, where Pushpa: The Rise had a special screening, said that he and director Sukumar have exciting ideas for the continuation of the story.
In an interview with Variety, Allu Arjun said, “You can definitely expect part three, we do want to make it a franchise and we have exciting ideas for the lineup”.
Pushpa 2 to have bigger canvas and bigger conflict
The makers of Pushpa have already announced that the second part, titled Pushpa: The Rule, will release on August 15, 2024. The film will reportedly have a bigger canvas and a more intense conflict between Pushpa and Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, the ruthless police officer played by Fahadh Faasil.
He added, “Pushpa 2 is going to have a very different shade of Pushpa than what you’ve seen in ‘Pushpa 1,’ because it is the lower end of the spectrum that you’ve seen. Till then it was playing on a regional scale, now it will play on a national and international scale. Pushpa 1, police officer Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil, emerges as a thorn in Pushpa’s side. The conflict between them is going to escalate to a much bigger, bigger scale.”
Allu Arjun also said that Pushpa: The Rise gained more popularity after it started streaming on Prime Video. He said that many people watched the film multiple times on the OTT platform and that the film attracted viewers from different languages, regions, and neighboring countries.
Pushpa: The Rule is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and has music by Devi Sri Prasad. The film is expected to be one of the most awaited releases of 2024.
