Pushpa 3, tentatively titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage, is one of the highly anticipated films. Fans have been eagerly awaiting an update on Allu Arjun’s upcoming film, and the latest reports have suggested an exciting addition.

According to Telugu 360, Vijay Deverakonda is in talks to play the new antagonist. He will reportedly step in after Fahadh Faasil’s character met his downfall in the previous film.

Pushpa 3 is gradually gearing up behind the scenes. After his project with Ram Charan is completed, director Sukumar is anticipated to begin work. If all goes according to plan, the movie, which is tentatively titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage, is expected to be released in 2028.

The third instalment of the film promises bigger battles, greater stakes, and lots of betrayal. The antagonists are predicted to be more formidable than before when Pushpa Raj returns to retake his red sandalwood kingdom.

Speculations about Pushpa 3 are now becoming a slow but steady following the enormous success of Pushpa: The Rise in 2021 and Pushpa 2: The Rule in 2024.

The latest reports have suggested that the makers will soon begin the pre-production of the film.

The makers have hired an office facility in Hyderabad where writers, designers, and other crew members will start crafting the story, finalising screenplays, and organising creative elements, according to many reports earlier this week. The much-loved character Pushparaj will return, with Allu Arjun playing the starring role, according to director Sukumar's public announcement that Pushpa 3 is in the works.

Although Pushpa 3 has formally entered the early stages of development, a confirmed shooting schedule has not yet been made public. Full-scale production may start later because Allu Arjun is currently working on multiple major films, and Sukumar is working on another project.
