Pushpa 2: The Rule Movie Story
Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) devises a plan to bypass brokers and directly enter the international market in the illegal red sandalwood trade. However, he faces resistance from SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil). Despite this, Pushpa Raj unexpectedly expands his red sandalwood smuggling empire, influencing Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape.
How does Pushpa Raj confront SP Shekhawat? What challenges does he face? Does his family support him? How does he impact AP politics? How does he maintain dominance in Chittoor? What troubles await him in Japan? Pushpa 2: The Rule unfolds the answers to these gripping questions.
Cast & Crew of Pushpa 2: The Rule Movie
Directed by the visionary filmmaker Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule brings an intense blend of action and emotion to the screen. Allu Arjun leads the film as Pushpa Raj, delivering a powerful and charismatic performance.
The stellar cast also includes Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, and Rao Ramesh, each adding depth to the film’s gripping crime narrative and dramatic family conflicts. With Sukumar’s signature storytelling and a talented ensemble, the movie promises an unforgettable cinematic experience.
The ‘Reloaded’ version extends the film’s runtime from 3 hours and 20 minutes to 3 hours and 44 minutes. The 23 minutes of additional footage aim to enrich the storyline by addressing prior criticisms about the lack of character development. This extra cut deepens Pushpa’s character arc and heightens the narrative’s overall impact, adding layers to an already intense story.
The film sets the stage for its next installment, Pushpa 3: The Rampage. Speculation suggests that Sukumar has already begun scripting the third chapter, which is expected to carry forward the thrilling legacy of the franchise.
Director Sukumar started his career with the movie Arya, which also starred actor Allu Arjun in the lead role, which was a blockbuster at the time of release. Sukumar later worked with Allu Arjun for the movie Arya 2, and they are very good friends in personal life as well. The movie garnered significant hype even before the shoot began, and the first look that was released recently received a tremendous response from audiences across India.
As per available information, the makers have begun regular shooting in various locations across India for this much-awaited part 2. Rumors are also circulating in the Telugu film industry that director Sukumar is trying his best to make this movie a blockbuster with some new additions to the story.
Pushpa 2: The Rule picks up where the 2021 film Pushpa: The Rise left off. Arjun’s Pushpa Raj is now the kingpin of red sanders smuggling in India, while Rashmika’s Srivalli is happily married to him. Fahadh’s police officer, Bhanwar Singh Shekawat, is still looking for ways to bring Pushpa down. Fahadh Faasil, who made a brief appearance in the previous part, will be seen in a full-length role in this sequel.
The movie also stars talented actors from different film industries, including Sunil from Telugu, Dali Dhananjay from Kannada, and a few other actors from Bollywood. Actress Rashmika Mandanna will reprise her role as the female lead opposite Allu Arjun, just like in the first part, while another actress will have a special role in Pushpa 2.
