Icon star Allu Arjun's first Pan India film Pushpa: The rise is running successfully in theaters with a massive response from the audience. But the makers are facing a setback a particular scene raised eyebrows and did not work well with the Telugu family audience.

In the particular scene where Srivalli (Rashmika Mandanna) starts to reciprocate her feelings to Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun), the latter is seen touching Rashmika's chest as they have a conversation about the same. The scene was discussed online by Allu Arjun's fans, who said that the makers should cut out the bit, as it might make families squirm in their seats.

Followed by the demands of Allu Arjun's fans it was reported that the makers are to chop off the scene, and the audience would get to watch the trimmed movie from Monday in theatres. Since the film runs for three hours it is also said that more scenes will also be removed from the film.

The second part, Pushpa: The Rule, will hit the cinemas sometime in 2022. Pushpa features Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in lead roles. The film is produced on a massive budget by Mythri Movie Makers.
