The scripting for the sequel, Pushpa: The Rule, is said to have been completed and Allu Arjun is expected to return to Hyderabad some time soon to start preparing for the shoot.
In Pushpa: The Rise, Allu Arjun plays an underdog who becomes the boss of a sandalwood smuggling syndicate. The sequel will see him being the boss, taking on the powers that be, including his bete noir, the cop played by Faahad Faasil.
Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Pushpa's love interest, Srivalli, will have a bigger role in the sequel, according to the makers. There's much speculation, meanwhile, over Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi, fresh from his dream run in Kamal Haasan's Vikram, joining the cast.
As per the reports, the Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal star was supposed to star in Pushpa The Rise as a forest officer but due to date issues, he couldn't be a part of the film and thus, has now been offered to play the role of a senior police officer in the film set to go on floors in September or October 2022.
The makers of Pushpa haven't confirmed or denied the news of Vijay Sethupathi being part of Pushpa 2. An official announcement is awaited.
