Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna-starrer Pushpa trailer out

The makers have finally unveiled the much-anticipated trailer of Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna-starrer film ‘Pushpa – The Rise’ on Monday.

The nearly two-and-a-half-minute trailer unravels the complex struggle between the natives of the forests in which the rare red sandalwood grows and those who smuggle it overseas.

The trailer is packed with action, violence, powerful dialogues, and romance.

Allu Arjun gets introduced as Pushparaj aka Pushpa, a truck driver, who smuggles red sandalwood for a living. The trailer also gives a glimpse of the other actors in key roles. Sunil, in a refreshing departure from his comic roles, plays one of the antagonists. Popular television anchor Anasuya Bharadwaj gets to play a feisty character.

Fahadh Faasil, who plays the prime antagonist, is seen in the last shot of the trailer. Sporting a thick moustache and clean-shaven head, he looks menacing and leaves a solid impact in just a few seconds.

Taking to his social media handle Allu Arjun has shared the trailer and wrote, “Here it is! #PushpaTrailer out now. #PushpaTheRise #PushpaTheRiseOnDec17th (sic).”

Written and directed by Sukumar, Pushpa is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Jagapathi Babu among others.
