While Rashmika Mandanna played the role of Allu Arjun’s love interest Srivalli in the first instalment of the actioner, it appears that Sai Pallavi has been approached to play the actor’s sister in the sequel film. As per a report by Siasat, filmmaker Sukumar will seemingly introduce a strong tribal girl character in Pushpa 2 and is considering Sai Pallavi to play the role. Her segment is about to be 20 minutes long, if the actress denies it, the makers are also considering Aishwarya Rajesh for the role.
It is important to note that the makers and Sai Pallavi have neither confirmed nor denied the report yet. The first instalment Pushpa: The Rise was released back in 2021, and depicted the rise of the smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood, a rare wood that grows only in the hills of Andhra Pradesh. It showcased how a low-wage labourer Pushpa rises up to dominate the smuggling syndicate by not only defeating goons but also picking up a fight with an egoistic police officer played by Fahadh Faasil.
In the much-awaited sequel, the makers will chronicle how Pushpa continues to rule the smuggling syndicate by defeating all odds thrown his way. The sequel is likely to hit the big screens this year but the release date hasn't been disclosed by the makers yet.
