Producer Y. Ravi Shankar clarifies Rashmika Mandanna’s character being killed in Pushpa: The Rule

Director Sukumar’s Pushpa: The Rise, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, was a major blockbuster hit. The film was released last December and fans are anxiously waiting for the sequel. Meanwhile, there are rumours that Rashmika’s character Srivalli may be murdered in the sequel.

Producer Y. Ravi Shankar cleared the rumours and made a statement saying, “That’s all trash. This is all nonsense. Until now we didn’t hear the story to be fair and frank, so it’s not like that, and all these are speculations. At this point of time, you write anything on that film, no one knows anything about that, so they believe in it. This is being carried by other websites and TV channels also, but it's false news.” When asked if Rashmika’s character is alive, he confirmed and said, “Ya ya, sure.”

Previously, Allu Arjun had shown his enthusiasm for Pushpa: The Rule. The actor expressed his excitement, “Genuinely I’m very charged up. I am very enthusiastic to shoot it because I am believing that we can give much more in part 2. Now they have set the base with part 1 and we have an amazing opportunity to explore the best in part 2, we all are in a mindset to give our best,” said Allu Arjun.

According to reports, filming for Pushpa: The Rule might begin in August. However, the director confirmed the news and said that they are in preparation mode right now.
