It was a very positive experience for the general public to see Pushpa: The Rise. As a matter of fact, it was one of the highest-grossing movies of 2021. As a result of Pushpa, Allu Arjun has become an even more popular actor. His interactions with Rashmika Mandanna, also known as Srivalli, and his sparring sessions with Fahadh Faasil, also known as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Additionally, Pushpa 2: The Rule will now add a new adversary. You read that correctly;

In Pushpa: The Rule, Allu Arjun will have to fight not one, but two antagonists. Although Fahadh Faasil is already featured in the film, Pushpa’s second chapter will add a brand-new antagonist. Director Sukumar has contacted superstar actor Vijay Sethupathi for the same. You did read that correctly. According to rumours, the director first asked Vijay Sethupathi about playing the role of Forest Officer in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise. But, for some purpose, nothing happened. So now, Sukumar has cast Vijay to play Pushpa 2’s second adversary.

 

Vijay has decided to play another antagonist, according to a report in the ETimes. According to a source cited by the portal, Vijay has consented to participate in the movie in a new role as a cruel, frightening adversary. The public has always been wowed by celebrity actor’s acting prowess. The anticipation for the Pushpa 2 film, which also stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, has just grown with his addition.

You may be wondering what happened to the character played by Fahadh Faasil in Pushpa. Well, don’t worry. He still serves as the film’s antagonist. His role is a police officer, thus he does have some restrictions. We’ll have to wait and see how he changes in Pushpa 2. Pushpa 2 will begin filming in August, according to a rumor. For all mainstream directors, Vijay Sethupathi has become a sort of lucky charm. According to rumors, he is receiving a tonne of offers to participate in high-profile multi-starrers not just in Tamil but from other regions of the country as well.

The last time we saw Sethupathi was in Maamanithan, directed by Seenu Ramasamy. The movie offered a personal perspective on crime and redemption.
