Ace filmmaker Sukumar is presently focused on Pushpa, his maiden pan-India project. The Allu Arjun starrer will be made in two parts and the shooting for the first instalment commenced earlier this month. The makers planned to complete bulk of the shooting with this schedule but an unexpected hurdle is causing them a new headache.
Prior to the commencement of the ongoing schedule, Sukumar planned to complete majority of the shoot with this 45-day long schedule. But the sudden torrential rains have upset his plans. The shoot has been postponed indefinitely due to the unexpected rainfall in Hyderabad. The downpour has damaged a specially assembled set and Pushpa unit is left with no other option but to postpone their plans at least for the time being. The schedule will resume only after the sets are restored. As it appears, the final schedule of Pushpa might take over 2 months as opposed to the initial plan to complete it in under 45 days.
Sukumar planned to take his immediate next project onto the floors after completing Pushpa part 1. But he is being forced to change his plans due to the delay in Pushpa shoot. He will first have to complete Pushpa before working on another project. He planned to take his next with Vijay Deverakonda onto the floors after completing Pushpa part 1, however he is having to forfeit his plans for now.
Sukumar now plans to resume Pushpa shoot by early August and wrap up the remaining portion at a stretch. This would ultimately mean that the first instalment of Pushpa will certainly not make it to theaters this year. The final call on the release date will be taken only after the shoot nears completion. It is known that the forest based action thriller stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Sunil, and Fahadh Faasil in the lead role. Mythri Movie Makers are bankrolling the project.
