Pushpa so far

In December 2021, when going back to the movies seemed unlikely, Pushpa: The Rise was released. The movie is largely responsible for drawing viewers back to traditional movie theaters.

The 1990s provide the setting for Pushpa’s plot, which centers on the red sandalwood mafia. It described the ascent of smuggler Pushpa, played by Allu Arjun, through the ranks. Additionally, there is a romance component involving him and Rashmika Mandanna’s Srivalli, Fahad Fasil played a cameo posing as the antagonist whose character will be explored in the sequel

The film ended on a cliffhanger with the Fahadh Faasil character swearing revenge on Pushpa, and fans have been eagerly waiting to know what would follow the story. Pushpa 2 would be the first film that Allu Arjun has starred in in over two years, the previous film being Part 1 of Pushpa.

In 2021, Pushpa 1: The Rise became a huge blockbuster across India, making Allu Arjun the new pan-India star. Last month, he even won the National Film Award for Best Actor.
