In a conversation withVariety, the Telugu superstar expressed, “You can definitely expect part three, we do want to make it a franchise and we have exciting ideas for the lineup.” For the unversed,Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1was one of the biggest Indian hits of 2021. Directed by Sukumar, the film was released in five languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1is set to be screened at the ongoing Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.

Sharing thoughts aboutPushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun added “Pushpa 2is going to have a very different shade ofPushpathan what you’ve seen inPushpa 1, because it is the lower end of the spectrum that you’ve seen. You’ll see the highest end of the spectrum in terms of characterization. So you’ll see him on a very high note, you’ll see him on a very high scale, in terms of characterization, in terms of this scale and presentation and the canvas of the problems are going to be much bigger than what it was compared to Pushpa 1. It’s going to be a bigger canvas, and there is a different dimension to the characterization.”

Pushpa 2: The Rulewill hit the big screens this year on August 15.
