Fahadh Faasil says ‘scope for Pushpa 3’: ‘Sukumar earlier wanted to make a web series on red sandalwood smuggling’

However, Sukumar changed the plan and split the movie into two as he felt the story of Pushpa Raj was too big to contain in just one movie. One of the reasons was Sukumar had planned this project as a series before turning it into a movie.

“Sukumar sir (earlier) wanted to make a series for Netflix on red sandalwood. Recently when I spoke with him, he said we have scope for Pushspa 3 also. We have so much material,” Fahadh added.

When Suku sir first told me the story, #Pushpa was only in one film, after the police station scene, my part in the second half, then it became two parts..

Fahadh also revealed that Sukumar gave him complete freedom to take as much time he wanted to memorise his lines as Telugu was a new language to him. He also noted both Sukumar and Allu Arjun took good care of him.

Pushpa: The Rise ended with the battle lines drawn between the characters of Fahadh and Allu Arjun. Pushpa: The Rule will follow the bloody confrontation between these two characters. The film was a smash hit at the box office when it was released last year during the Christmas holiday.
