The second installment of the franchise will have a face-off between Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil, who was introduced as the main antagonist in Pushpa: The Rise in 2021.

In a July interview with Pinkvilla, Fahadh had opened up about his role in the Pushpa 2, and said, “The second part of Pushpa has a lot more of Bhanwar Singh. There is a lot of conflict happening between the two characters and the second part revolves around the conflict.”
