New Delhi: Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana’s ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ was a massive hit. From Allu Arjun’s heavyweight dialogues to immensely popular songs, the movie became a rage among the moviegoers.
There is a lot of buzz around its sequel ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ and fans are eagerly waiting for its release.

According to the latest reports, the movie will be released on Sankranti 2023.
According to a report by News 18, the release is delayed as the writer and director of the movie, Sukumar, is taking a lot of time to finish the script. He is making a lot of additions and also focusing on dialogues, which can be trendsetters.

It is also to be seen which OTT platform will bag the rights of the movie. ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
Allu Arjun is expected to start shooting the first schedule of ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ in July. The sequel will continue narrating the story of the rivalry between Pushpa Raj and IPS Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil.
