Pushpa 3 is confirmed. Producers reveal release date. There could be a big surprise

The Pushpa franchise has taken Indian cinema by storm, with both installments smashing box office records and leaving audiences craving more. Now, fans of Allu Arjun can rejoice as the makers have officially confirmed that Pushpa 3 is on the way!

Producer Ravi Shankar Yerneni recently revealed that the third chapter of the blockbuster series is set to begin in 2028. However, fans will have to wait a little longer as Allu Arjun and director Sukumar are tied up with prior commitments. The superstar has two massive projects lined up—one with Atlee and another with Trivikram Srinivas—both of which are expected to keep him occupied for the next couple of years. Meanwhile, Sukumar is currently working on a film with Ram Charan, further delaying the timeline for Pushpa 3.

Despite these packed schedules, the makers assure that the wait won’t be as long as it was between Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa: The Rule. Once Allu Arjun wraps up his prior commitments and the director also completes his project, work on Pushpa 3 will start and the makers are aiming for a 2028 release. As per reports, the third installment of the film is titled, Pushpa 3- The Rampage.

What did Fahadh Faasil say about the third installment?

As reported by India Today, Fahadh Faasil revealed that director Sukumar has ample content to drive Pushpa 3 forward. He shared that the film was initially planned as a single installment, but after the police station sequence and his role in the latter half, it was expanded into two parts. Recently, Sukumar hinted that there is still enough material for a third chapter and advised him to be ready for it.

Who will star in Pushpa 3?

While the identity of the next big villain remains under wraps, speculations are rife that Vijay Deverakonda is the frontrunner for the role. If confirmed, fans can expect a high-voltage clash between him and Allu Arjun, adding a new layer of intensity to the franchise. Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil are also expected to reprise their roles, further expanding the Pushpa universe.
Although Deverakonda’s involvement has yet to be officially announced, a 2022 tweet from the Liger star fueled speculation. In the post, he shared a picture with director Sukumar, expressing excitement about being part of the Pushpa world. The tweet read, “Happy Birthday

@aryasukku sir - I wish you the best of health & happiness! Cannot wait to start the film with you :) love and hugs.
