Of
late,
a
lot
of
speculations
have
been
doing
the
rounds
about
Tamil
actors
Madhavan
and
Chiyaan
Vikram
replacing
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
Allu
Arjun's
Pushpa.
A
few
days
back,
the
Nishabdham
actor
cleared
the
air
about
his
inclusion
in
the
film
as
he
rubbished
the
rumours.
Though
it
was
not
confirmed,
many
believed
that
the
recent
grapevine
about
Chiyaan
Vikram
playing
the
antagonist
in
the
film
is
true.
The
Telugu
fans
of
the
popular
Kollywood
star
were
elated
and
even
celebrated
the
buzz.
Well
now,
we
have
bad
news
for
Vikram
fans,
as
we
hear
that
the
actor
is
not
a
part
of
the
Allu
Arjun-starrer.
As
per
Times
of
India
report,
Vikram's
team
has
confirmed
that
the
star
has
not
been
approached
by
the
makers
of
Pushpa.
Let
us
tell
you
that
earlier,
it
was
reported
that
the
actor
might
replace
Vijay
Sethupathi,
who
was
roped
in
to
essay
the
role
of
a
police
officer
in
the
highly
awaited
film.
Later,
Vijay
walked
out
of
the
project
owing
to
date
issues.
Notably,
Vikram's
inclusion
in
Pushpa
would
have
marked
his
11th
Telugu
film
after
20
years
of
action
romantic
drama
Youth,
which
released
in
2001.
The
actor's
Telugu
projects
include
Bangaru
Kutumbam
(1994),
Adalla
Majaka
(1995),
Ooha
(1996),
Merupu
(1996),
9
Nelalu
(2000)
and
others.
Coming
back
to
Pushpa,
the
team
resumed
shooting
last
week
after
months
of
COVID-19
break.
A
few
pictures
of
the
Stylish
Star
in
a
rough
and
tough
avatar
had
also
gone
viral
on
social
media.
Allu
Arjun
looked
unrecognizable
in
the
pictures
that
received
high
appreciation
from
the
netizens.
The
action-thriller
directed
by
Sukumar,
has
Rahmika
Mandanna
in
the
lead
role.
Backed
by
Mythri
Movie
Makers,
Pushpa
will
also
reportedly
feature
Arya,
Sunil
Varma,
Dhananjay,
Jagapathi
Babu
and
Harish
Uthaman.
