Looks
like
the
makers
of
the
highly-anticipated
film
Pushpa,
have
finally
found
the
antagonist
for
their
film.
As
per
the
latest
report,
makers
have
zeroed
in
on
Bobby
Simha
to
reprise
the
role
of
Tamil
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi.
Earlier,
the
Super
Deluxe
actor
was
offered
the
role
of
a
forest
officer
in
the
action
thriller.
Reports
had
suggested
that
Vijay
expressed
his
hesitance
to
essay
the
role
because
of
its
close
resemblance
to
the
real-life
incidents,
in
which
forest
officers
in
Andhra
Pradesh
had
gunned
down
Tamilians
thinking
they
were
smugglers.
There
were
also
rumours
that
the
actor
was
not
happy
with
Allu
Arjun's
decision
of
releasing
the
movie
in
Tamil,
amid
the
controversy.
After
he
walked
out
of
the
project,
the
makers
were
in
search
of
an
antagonist
who
would
match
Vijay's
brand.
Earlier,
Kannada
actor
Dhananjay
was
rumoured
to
be
in
talks
for
the
role.
The
makers
are
yet
to
make
an
official
announcement
regarding
Bobby
Simha's
inclusion
in
the
big
project.
On
a
related
note,
the
makers
have
started
the
pre-production
work
amid
the
lockdown.
Directed
by
Sukumar,
the
high
octane
action-drama
will
have
Rashmika
Mandanna
as
the
female
lead.
The
Allu
Arjun-starrer
will
be
released
in
five
languages-
Telugu,
Hindi,
Malayalam,
Tamil,
and
Kannada.
Bankrolled
by
Mythri
Movie
Makers,
Pushpa
will
arrive
in
theatres
next
year,
however,
the
release
date
is
yet
to
be
finalized.
Touted
to
be
a
full-blown
entertainer,
the
film
revolves
around
the
story
of
sandalwood
smuggling,
wherein
Allu
Arjun
will
portray
the
role
of
a
smuggler,
who
is
also
a
lorry
driver.
Pushpa
will
also
feature
Prakash
Raj,
Suniel
Shetty,
Jagapati
Babu,
Harish
Uthaman,
Vennela
Kishore,
and
Anasuya
Bharadwaj
in
pivotal
roles.
The
thriller
has
music
composed
by
Devi
Sri
Prasad.
The
second
schedule
of
the
movie
will
start
rolling
in
the
forest
range
post
lockdown.
