Buzz: Arjun Kapoor to play a key role in Pushpa 2

HYDERABAD: Icon Star Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise was a raging success at the box office. Especially, the film received immense love in North India. It made Allu Arjun a sensation in the northern part of the country. The pan-India success of Pushpa inspired makers to build its sequel Pushpa: The Rule on a bigger scale.

Pushpa 2 was launched a few weeks ago. The regular shooting is expected to begin soon. As there are huge expectations around this movie, the makers are planning to rope in a few Bollywood actors to bring a pan-India feel.

If the latest grapevine is anything to go by, B-Town actor Arjun Kapoor will play a pivotal role in the sequel. Reportedly, he will be seen as a cop. Apparently, director Sukumar held talks with Arjun and everything got finalised as well. However, an official confirmation regarding his inclusion is yet to be made.

If Arjun comes on board, Pushpa will be a big multi-starrer as it already features Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil in the other lead roles. The film features Rashmika Mandanna, Anasuya, Sunil and Ajay in pivotal roles. It is slated for a 2023 release.
