National award-winning actor Allu Arjun sent his fans into a frenzy with his recent hint at a potential third installment of the “Pushpa” franchise at the Berlin International Film Festival. The news comes as filming progresses for “Pushpa: The Rule,” the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster “Pushpa: The Rise.”
While the focus remains firmly on completing “Pushpa: The Rule,” director Sukumar and Allu Arjun have expressed their belief in the necessity of a third part. Interestingly, a portion of “Pushpa 3” has already been filmed, and a significant part of the “The Rule” shoot has been wrapped. The post-production process for “The Rule” is also underway.
As per the current plan, “Pushpa: The Rule” is scheduled to hit theaters on August 15th, 2024. Following this release, the remaining shoot for “Pushpa 3” is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The initial target for the theatrical release of “Pushpa 3” was summer 2025.
However, recent reports suggest that this projected release date might be subject to change. The reasoning behind this stems from two key factors:
The Performance of “Pushpa: The Rule”: The success of “Pushpa: The Rule” will significantly influence the casting decisions for “Pushpa 3.” If both films achieve blockbuster status, the makers might consider incorporating international stars into the third installment, potentially impacting the production timeline.
Sukumar’s Dedication to Perfection: Director Sukumar is renowned for his meticulous approach to filmmaking. He is known to prioritize achieving his creative vision and will not release a film until he is completely satisfied with the final product. This dedication to perfectionism could potentially extend the production timeline for “Pushpa 3.”
Taking these factors into account, it appears that the initial summer 2025 release date for “Pushpa 3” might be revised. While fans eagerly await the conclusion of Pushpa Raj’s story, the immediate focus remains on the upcoming release of “Pushpa: The Rule” in August 2024. This highly anticipated sequel promises to captivate audiences and pave the way for the potential exploration of Pushpa’s world in “Pushpa 3.”
