Excitingly, there's even more in store for fans, as director Sukumar is reportedly working on a third installment titled Pushpa: The Roar. This news has stirred excitement among Allu Arjun fans, and an official announcement is eagerly awaited.
Sukumar, known for his gripping storytelling, even shared in an interview that the script for Pushpa 2 was so extensive that it could have been adapted into a web series.
