The anticipation for Pushpa 2 is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the saga. Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, the film is being made on a staggering budget of close to Rs 500 crore, promising to deliver a cinematic spectacle. While the team has hinted at the development of Pushpa 3, reports suggest that both Sukumar and Allu Arjun will take a hiatus from the Pushpa franchise before diving into the third installment.
Taking a Break from Pushpa
According to social media buzz and Telugu movie circles, a significant portion of Pushpa 3 has already been filmed. However, both the director and actor are set to take a break from the series to focus on other projects before officially releasing the third film. This decision allows them to explore different creative avenues and recharge before concluding the epic story of Pushpa Raj.
Allu Arjun’s Upcoming Project with Atlee
Allu Arjun is slated to collaborate with renowned director Atlee on a new mega-budget entertainer. The shooting for this film is expected to commence in October 2024, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. As per industry insiders, Samantha Ruth Prabhu is the top choice for the female lead. Allu Arjun will begin preparations for this project as soon as he wraps up Pushpa 2. The actor’s immense popularity across India, particularly on satellite TV, ensures high expectations for this upcoming venture.
Sukumar’s Collaboration with Ram Charan
Meanwhile, Sukumar is reportedly teaming up with Ram Charan for a film produced by SS Rajamouli’s son, Karthikeya Rajamouli. Scheduled for release in the last quarter of 2025, this will be Ram Charan’s 17th film. The duo previously delivered the blockbuster Rangasthalam, a rural vendetta story that showcased one of Ram Charan’s finest performances. Music for the film will be composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
Additionally, Sukumar is supporting Ram Charan’s romantic film with director Buchi Babu Sana, featuring Janhvi Kapoor as the leading lady. This project further diversifies Sukumar’s portfolio and underscores his commitment to pushing creative boundaries in Telugu cinema.
Exciting Times Ahead
With Pushpa 2 slated to be one of the biggest releases of 2024, the break from the Pushpa franchise allows both Allu Arjun and Sukumar to explore new narratives and characters. Fans can look forward to a dynamic range of films from these talented artists, promising a blend of action, drama, and romance.
