Pushpa 2: Not Allu Arjun or Sukumar, but THIS actor is causing delay in shooting sequel?

Pushpa: The Rule has been under the scanner for the last few weeks after rumours about a rift between the lead actor Allu Arjun and director Sukumar went viral. Allegedly, Allu Arjun was not happy with the delays and hence he shaved off his beard which is an integral part of Pushpa’s character. Since he cannot shoot without a beard, the Tollywood star went on a holiday with his family.

Irked by this behaviour there were rumours that Sukumar also halted all his shooting plans and took off to the US to meet his daughter. A report that surfaced a few days ago said that soon both Allu Arjun and Sukumar will return to shooting in the first week of August. However, now the reports are adrift that even if Sukumar and Bunny make themselves available for Pushpa: The Rule, it is another South Indian actor who at present is unable to allot dates to the sequel.

A Tollywood portal has reported that Fahadh Faasil who plays the lead antagonist in this movie has not given bulk dates for Pushpa 2. Earlier due to delays in the shooting of the movie he had to postpone two of his ongoing Malayalam films. Now Fahadh has allocated those dates to his other projects and hence he is now unable to join the shooting soon.

So the tragedy of shooting around Pushpa 2 continues. Earlier the movie was scheduled to release on August 15. Now it is slated to be released on December 6. But looking at the current delays in the shooting schedule fans are wondering whether it will be possible for the makers to release Pushpa: The Rule this year. The first movie- Pushpa: The Rise was a big hit. But it has been more than three years since then.

The sequel has already been delayed a lot and more delays can dilute the response to Pushpa 2 .
