After an unexpected break due to the lockdown, the team of ‘Pushpa’ are back to work again. The shooting of this pan-Indian project has begun near Secunderabad today and the team has erected a small forest set along with another one which resembles a lorry stand.
Sources say that this schedule is going to happen for 45 days and if things return as it is, Sukumar & co are planning to move to Rampachodavaram area and film some key scenes in the forests there. As we know, ‘Pushpa’ has been divided into two parts. While the first part will be hitting the screens this year, the other will be coming out sometime in 2021. According to the sources, all the scenes left in the first part will be completed in this schedule and the film’s unit is planning it carefully that no hurdle hinders their progress.
‘Puhspa’ was one of the last few films to stop the shooting before the second lockdown. Despite the increase in Corona cases, the team continued working and they even shot with the other cast while Bunny got tested positive for the virus. There is a lot riding on this project as it is Allu Arjun’s maiden pan-Indian venture. Sukumar has penned a perfect script and the entire unit is confident about the content.
Set in the backdrop of red sanders smuggling in the forest area, ‘Pushpa’ is a rustic rural drama and Bunny will be seen as a lorry driver. The teaser doubled the expectations on the film and Rashmika Mandanna is the heroine while Malayali hero Fahad Fasil will be seen as an antagonist. Mythri Movie Makers are bankrolling this massive project while Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad is rendering the tunes.
