Producer Ravi Shankar on Sunday confirmed that 'Pushpa 3: The Rampage' will come sooner than expected. The Allu Arjun starrer is going to be one of the most anticipated sequels, and the producer revealed that the team is trying to prepare the film for a 2028 release.
Shankar, who was present at a media event for his latest film 'Robinhood', shared that Arjun is currently busy with two big projects, and he will only begin work on 'Pushpa 3' after finishing his film with Atlee and Trivikram Srinivas.
"'Pushpa 3' is definitely on! Allu Arjun is presently doing two films with director Atlee Kumar and another one with Trivikram Srinivas. 'Pushpa 3' will be after these two films. He’ll take at least two years to complete the two films (sic)," he said.
Shankar added that the second part in the franchise - 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' took longer than expected for several reasons, but it will not be the case with 'Pushpa 3'. "We won’t delay things like it happened earlier, but hopefully come back quickly in three years, so the film will arrive somewhere in 2028," the producer concluded.
This is the first time that the producer has talked about the third part in the franchise. Earlier, the makers announced the third film in the end credits of the film. However, nothing much about the new film has been given away.
Meanwhile, 'Pushpa' director Sukumar is also busy with his next with Telugu superstar Ram Charan. He will reportedly take at least two years to finish his film, and shift his focus to the world of 'Pushpa' again.
After its release in December last year, 'Pushpa 2' emerged as the biggest Indian film of all time at the domestic box office. Also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in the lead, the film earned Rs 1,234.1 crore nett in India, and Rs 1,742.1 crore worldwide.
