Pushpa producer Naveen Yerneni also shared that the shooting of the film will begin by the end of this month.
When Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa: The Rise was released in December last year, it became an instant hit. The film brought the audience back into theatres after the coronavirus pandemic and smashed several box office records. It recorded a business of more than Rs 300 crore worldwide. Since then, fans have been waiting for the sequel of the movie. Amid all this, it was recently reported that Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor is also likely to feature in Pushpa 2. However, the producer of the movie has now confirmed that Arjun is not a part of Pushpa: The Rule.
In a recent interaction with Pinkvilla, producer Naveen Yerneni revealed that Arjun will not be a part of Pushpa 2 and also shared that the shooting of the film will begin by the end of this month. “Fahadh Faasil is doing the role. So it’s hundred percent false news. We will start shooting (for Pushpa 2) from this month end. Between 20th and 30th we will start the shoot. Initially, we will be shooting in Hyderabad and then we will go to the forest and other locations,” he said.
Last month, Rashmika Mandanna took to social media and shared a glimpse of the Pushpa 2 Pooja ceremony, leaving fans super excited. Prior to this, it was being said that Rashmika Mandanna’s character Srivalli will be killed in the sequel. However, later, the producer of the film dismissed all such reports and called them ‘nonsense’.

Meanwhile, Pushpa: The Rise had a budget of approximately Rs.200 crore. However, if a report by India Today is to be believed, the production cost alone of Pushpa: The Rule might be Rs. 200 crore. Not just this, but it is estimated that the budget of the film can reach up to Rs 400 crore.
Pushpa was originally filmed in Telugu but was released pan-India in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada too.
