Ahead Of Pushpa 2, A Recap Of Allu Arjun's Action Drama
Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1, the 2021 blockbuster starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, is re-releasing in theatres on November 22 ahead of its sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa: The Rise is a gripping action drama set against the backdrop of the red sandalwood smuggling trade in the forests of Andhra Pradesh.
The film chronicles the meteoric rise of Pushpa Raj, a coolie-turned-smuggler, who battles his way through class prejudice, betrayal, and corruption to establish his dominance in the illegal trade.
Pushpa’s ingenuity is quickly established when he discovers clever ways to transport red sandalwood logs without getting caught.
While navigating the dangerous world of smuggling, Pushpa finds solace in Srivalli (Rashmika Mandanna). Srivalli’s innocence and Pushpa’s rawness complement each other, and their romance becomes a key subplot in the story.
Shekhawat attempts to humiliate Pushpa during his wedding with Srivalli. However, Pushpa turns the tables by asserting his dominance and making it clear that he is now the undisputed ruler of the smuggling world.
Allu Arjun's transformation into Pushpa—complete with a rugged look, distinct swagger, and iconic mannerisms—made the character unforgettable.
The chart-topping songs, including Oo Antava and Srivalli, along with Sukumar's masterful direction, elevated the film to cult status.
The much-awaited sequel to the action drama is all set to release worldwide on December 5.
