It also casts Fahadh Faasil as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, Anasuya Bharadwaj as Dakshayani, comedian-actor Sunil as Mangalam Seenu and Jagadeesh Prathap as Kesava.
What was conceptualised as a web series initially, the story of Pushpa was later made into two parts after much consultation among the makers and star cast.
A few scenes of Pushpa 2 were already shot before the release of the first part, however, Sukumar said that he would change the plot a bit and it needed a reshot in a few portions.
It is initially shot in Telugu and is expected to be released in multiple languages — Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi — to target audiences across the country.
Meanwhile, Pushpa: The Rule is predicted to do a mind-boggling pre-release business. It is estimated that the flick would do a pre-release business to the tune of ₹800 crore.
