Allu Arjun in 'Pushpa: The Rise'

Allu Arjun is currently the talk of the town for being the first Telugu actor to clinch a National Award for 'Pushpa: The Rise'. His ardent fans are on tenterhooks, eagerly anticipating the release of his next film, Pushpa 2. He recently divulged some captivating details about this movie and shed light on his Hollywood aspirations.


In a candid chat with Variety, Allu Arjun attributed the triumph of Pushpa: The Rise to its deep-rootedness in ordinary lives and mundanity. He commented, “It’s the common man factor, it’s the characterizations’ attitude that truly resonated across diverse languages." Elucidating further, he said “Our aim was to craft a narrative that was authentic, unpolished, and deeply anchored. That genuine approach bore fruit; our intent wasn’t to mimic someone else but to remain true to ourselves, all the while appealing to a broader audience. The adage goes, to globalize is to localize.”


The film took Indian audiences by storm last year. From Arjun's rustic stylized character to his sunglasses and iconic hook step in 'Srivalli' that soon had netizens making dance challenge videos on YouTube and Instagram to Samantha Ruth Prabhu's hit track 'Oo Aantava,' the film was cemented as an instant classic in the Indian entertainment landscape.


Discussing the massive acclaim Pushpa: The Rise received, he emphasized the raised bar for Pushpa 2: The Rule, slated for a mid-2024 release. He remarked, “Pushpa 2, in my view, will elevate the excitement, transcending what Pushpa 1 offered. It promises to deliver more heart-pounding sequences.” Fans certainy can't wait to get that adrenaline rush again!

On the topic of venturing into Hollywood, Allu Arjun stated, “The global stage beckons every Indian actor now, given India’s trajectory towards becoming a dominant global force. Every Indian venture will prosper, and the cinematic world here is no exception,” he opined, “I project that in a decade or less, Indian movies will command a global viewership, much like the universal appeal of Korean dramas. There’s a high chance India will occupy a similar revered position in the near future. We're entering a renaissance period for India's entertainment sector.”

Under Sukumar's direction, Pushpa 2: The Rule continues the legacy of its 2021 predecessor, Pushpa: The Rise. Stars like Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Fassil will once again breathe life into their respective roles - Pushpa, Srivalli, and SP Bhanwar Singh. This sequel has already sent waves of excitement among cinema-goers. To fuel this anticipation, a first glimpse of Allu Arjun from the film was unveiled, leaving fans in a frenzy. As per circulating news, the cinematic experience is set to unfold on March 22, 2024, though official confirmation is still pending.
