Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Pushpa: The Rise turned out to be a massive blockbuster that caught the film industry unawares, especially Bollywood. Despite limited promotions, ‘Pushpa’ caught on like a wildfire in the Hindi belt. The entire team is now shooting for the sequel to ‘Pushpa’ in the direction of Sukumar. The second part titled ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ will be releasing in December 2022, as announced by Sukumar. On Allu Arjun’s birthday, a poster from the film was released by the makers. Allu Arjun is seen in a rugged look sporting a thick beard and long hair. While the first part depicts the rise of Pushpa from a red sandalwood smuggler to the head of the smuggling syndicate, the second part is said to focus on the clash of personalities between Pushpa and the IFS officer Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (played by Fahadh Faasil).
