Coincidentally, director Sukumar had first approached Mahesh Babu to play the role of Pushpa in the film. However, the project couldn’t materialize due to creative differences and Allu Arjun stepped in eventually.
Speaking about the same, Sukumar had earlier said during Pushpa: The Rise promotions, “The story I narrated to Mahesh Babu was also based on red sander smuggling, but that was a while ago. Once I came out of the project, I wrote a different story. I wanted the character attitude. And with Mahesh Babu, I couldn’t make him cool. He is very fair. So, the backdrop was the same, but the story is different.”
Meanwhile, Pushpa is continuing its glorious run at box office across India. The movie so far has collected over Rs 67 crore in the Hindi belts and has already grossed more than Rs 300 crore. The second part of the film, Pushpa: The Rule, will release in December.
