'Pushpa 2' was expected to commence its principal photography in March or April. But it is going on the floors not before the last week of July.

In his latest interview, Allu Arjun's confidante and film producer Bunny Vas himself gave the update. "The plan is to take the film on the floors towards the end of July," he said.

When is the Sukumar directorial going to hit the screens? Vas suggested that it will mostly be released in Summer 2023. But this can happen only if everything goes well.

What after 'Pushpa 2'? Bunny will take a call before Dasara this year. He hasn't zeroed in on any project. So, nobody can say with certainty whether it will be a film with Venu Sriram or someone. Bunny Vas squashed the rumour that the 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' actor will be teaming up with Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansai.

Meanwhile, 'Pushpa: The Rise' has received appreciation from Bollywood's successful filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.
