In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Vasu disclosed that Allu Arjun has around 15-17 days of shooting left for the film, which includes a crucial song and the climactic scene.

Vasu underscored the unity and dedication of the entire team, affirming that Allu Arjun would readily accommodate any additional time Sukumar needed for filming. This statement aims to quell any lingering doubts about discord between the actor and the director.

Rumours of a rift began circulating after a video of Allu Arjun on a family vacation appeared online, featuring the actor with a trimmed beard. This sparked speculation about potential issues on the set of 'Pushpa 2.' However, these reports have been proven baseless, with production continuing smoothly.

'Pushpa: The Rule,' the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise,' stars Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhananjaya, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Rao Ramesh, and Ajay in pivotal roles.

Originally scheduled for release on August 15, 2024, the film’s premiere has been postponed to December 6, 2024, to accommodate the remaining work.
