Pushpa 2: The Rule: Sukumar Reveals Suhas Was First Choice for Keshava’s Role

Allu Arjun’s upcoming film “Pushpa 2: The Rule” is generating significant buzz in the Indian cinema industry, with expectations that it will set new records. The film has captivated audiences across India, and the teaser released on Allu Arjun’s birthday received an overwhelmingly positive response. The production team is now gearing up to unveil the first single from the film on May 1st.

Director Sukumar, known for his creative prowess, is currently immersed in the shooting process. Despite his busy schedule, he made an appearance at the pre-release event for Suhas’s latest film, “Prasanna Vadanam,” where he shared some interesting insights. Sukumar revealed that Suhas was initially considered for the role of Keshava in the first “Pushpa” film, a part ultimately played by Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari.

Sukumar explained, “We initially planned to cast Suhas as Keshava. He was our top choice for that role. However, by the time we decided to approach him, Suhas had taken on a leading role in another film, so we felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask him. Bunny (Allu Arjun) holds him in high regard. His career trajectory is similar to that of Nani, and I’m confident he will emerge as the next big star like Nani.”
