Allu Arjun and Sukumar Likely to Reunite for Pushpa 3 in 2027
Actors and directors are planning a third movie in the Pushpa series.
The people who make the movies never thought about squishing the second and third parts together into one long movie.
Instead, they are planning a brand new story for the third part.
They think the story has a lot more potential and want to make it even better than the first two.
Some parts of the third movie were even filmed while they were making the second one!
The main actor, Allu Arjun, has to finish another movie first, and the director, Sukumar, has to finish a project with another actor.
They will start the new Pushpa movie around the middle of 2027.
If this happens, Allu Arjun will be the second actor in India to be the main star in three movies of the same story series.
Allu Arjun and Sukumar are expected to collaborate for 'Pushpa 3' around mid-2027.
The plan for 'Pushpa 3' is an original story, not a combination of 'Pushpa: The Rise' and 'Pushpa: The Rule'.
Sukumar's team is developing a script to surpass previous installments in content and visuals.
Allu Arjun will complete his film with Atlee, and Sukumar will finish his project with Ram Charan before 'Pushpa 3'.
This potential trilogy could further boost Allu Arjun's pan-India popularity and usher in an era of South Indian film trilogies.
