Allu Arjun To Return In Pushpa 3:
Allu Arjun has firmly cemented his place as one of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars with the Pushpa franchise. Sukumar’s mass action drama not only shattered box office records but also redefined the standards for pan-India cinema. With Pushpa 2: The Rule now holding the crown as the highest-grossing film in India—surpassing Prabhas’ Baahubali 2—the frenzy around the franchise continues to grow. And now, fans have another reason to celebrate. At a glittering award function in Dubai on Saturday (September 6, 2025), the Pushpa 2 team walked away with five major awards. But the loudest cheer of the night came when director Sukumar officially confirmed that Pushpa 3 is happening.
Sukumar Drops Major Update on Pushpa 3
When the Pushpa team took the stage to accept their awards, the host playfully echoed Fahadh Faasil’s famous line from the film, “Party ledha Pushpa?” But what began as a lighthearted moment quickly turned into the biggest announcement of the evening. Prodded about whether Pushpa 3 was on the cards or shelved, Sukumar looked to producer Naveen Yerneni and Allu Arjun for a subtle nod before declaring, “Obviously, Pushpa 3 undi!” (Obviously, we’re making Pushpa 3). The announcement was met with thunderous applause, cheers, and whistles from the packed hall.
The confirmation comes after fans had been speculating ever since the end-credit scene of Pushpa 2, which teased the continuation of the story. The third installment, tentatively titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage, is expected to see Allu Arjun face a brand-new antagonist while Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles.
What’s Next for the Pushpa Franchise?
With Pushpa 2: The Rule rewriting box office history and sweeping awards, anticipation for Pushpa 3: The Rampage has skyrocketed. Sukumar’s official confirmation has ignited a new wave of excitement among fans who are eager to see where the saga heads next.
For now, the stage is set for another cinematic storm led by Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, as Pushpa continues its reign as one of the most celebrated franchises in Indian cinema.
