Let’s jog your memory and recall the iconic line from Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) – “Pushpa ante flower anukuntiva? Fireee!” (Did you think I’m just a flower upon hearing my name? I am fire!). With the release of the teaser for Pushpa 2: The Rule, it’s evident that Pushpa has transformed into a raging wildfire, steadfastly refusing to yield under any circumstances.
Released on Allu Arjun’s 42nd birthday today, the 68-second teaser offers a glimpse into the world of Pushpa 2: The Rule – He appears to be more captivating and ruthless. Pushpa Raj is depicted as going completely no-holds-barred, showcasing a heightened intensity and determination.
In the teaser, Allu Arjun is seen portraying Goddess Kali, draped in a saree, exuding both fury and fearlessness as he strides through a festival scene, commanding deep respect from onlookers. The teaser also features the Jaathara, also known as Sammakka Saralamma Jaathara – A festival to honour the Hindu Tribal goddesses, celebrated in the state of Telangana, India. Each year more than 10 million devotees visit this 4 day festival.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule features Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, and Sunil reprising their roles from the first film. Adding to the anticipation is Allu Arjun’s National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in the initial installment.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, Pushpa 2: The Rule is touted as one of the most expensive Indian films to date. With music by Devi Sri Prasad, cinematography by Miroslaw Kuba Brozek, and editing by Karthika Srinivas and Ruben, the eagerly awaited film is scheduled for release on August 15, 2024, coinciding with Independence Day.
