Well, this is not the first time Pushpa rumours are hitting the headlines. Earlier, there was a buzz that Srivalli (Rashmika) would die in the second part of the franchise. However, producer Y Ravi Shankar saved fans from heartbreak by thrashing the reports as fake news. In a recent interview with a popular online media, the producer called the speculations fake. He also confirmed that Srivalli will be alive in the sequel.
Pushpa grossed a whopping Rs 365 crores at the box office. The film's performance in the Hindi belt took the industry by a surprise.
