HYDERABAD: "Pushpa: The Rise," is facing an unexpected setback following the arrest of Jagadeesh Bandari, renowned for his role as Allu Arjun's sidekick in the initial installment. Hyderabad police detained him in connection with a case related to the harassment of a woman, leading to her tragic demise.

Jagadeesh, acclaimed for his performance in "Pushpa: The Rise," was slated for a pivotal role in the sequel titled "Pushpa: The Rule." However, his arrest has disrupted the film's production. The team undergoes a delay in the shoot currently.

To cope with the situation, filmmakers initially managed to shoot some scenes with a body double for Jagadeesh. However, given the substantial reliance on his character for the film's narrative, the team is now facing a challenging situation.

Reports indicate that the arrest has led to the postponement of the shoot, and Mythri Movie Makers, the production company, is reportedly working diligently to secure Jagadeesh's release.

Despite the production house's efforts to obtain bail for the actor, the severity of the charges and Jagadeesh's admission to the crime have made securing bail a formidable task. This unforeseen development has left the filmmakers with no choice but to explore alternatives for the shoot.

Directed by Sukumar, the film also features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead role in the film.
