The story of Pushpa Raj will continue in Pushpa 3 – The Rampage. Latest rumours suggest that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan might join the film in a special role. With the first two films in the franchise being huge hits, expectations for the third are already high.
Salman Khan Could Play ‘Sultan’ In Pushpa 3
As reported by Money Control, the makers of Pushpa 3 are planning to expand Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa cinematic universe. They want to bring in new characters and big stars. One of the most talked-about rumours is that Salman Khan will play a character named Sultan.
“Sultan” is described as a billionaire mastermind and a business tycoon. Salman Khan might appear in a cameo role initially. If audiences like him, the makers could even consider a standalone film for the character in the future.
The production house is taking its time with pre-production. They have set up an office in Hyderabad and are working on a strong script. The aim is to build a story that fits well into the larger Pushpa universe.
When Will Pushpa 3 Start Filming?
Pushpa 3 – The Rampage will not go on floors immediately. Director Sukumar and star Allu Arjun are busy with other projects. Sukumar is reportedly finishing a film with Ram Charan before starting work on the third Pushpa. The film is expected to be released around 2028.
The previous instalment (Pushpa 2 – The Rule) was a massive HIT. It collected Rs 1742 crore worldwide. The film starred Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. It broke many records and became the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever, behind only Baahubali 2 and Dangal.
Talking about Salman Khan, his recent films have had mixed results. His last release, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, did not do well at the box office. He will now appear in Apoorva Lakhia’s Battle of Galwan, a film based on the Indo-China war.
