A
few
days
ago,
reports
were
floating
that
the
Allu
Arjun-starrer,
Pushpa
will
have
Nivetha
Thomas
as
the
second
lead
actress.
The
reports
stated
that
the
actress
will
be
seen
playing
Allu
Arjun's
love
interest
in
the
film.
After
this
news
came
out,
everyone
started
wondering
about
Rashmika
Mandanna's
role
in
Pushpa.
Well,
the
Sukumar's
directorial
venture
is
one
of
the
much-awaited
films
of
the
year
and
fans
are
keen
to
know
every
update
about
the
Allu
Arjun-starrer.
Amidst
all
these,
the
latest
update
states
that
Pushpa
will
not
have
a
second
heroine.
A
source
close
to
the
director
and
production
house
informed
telugucinema.com,
that
there
is
no
scope
for
a
second
heroine
in
the
film.
The
source
told
the
web
portal,
"According
to
the
story,
Allu
Arjun's
character
is
in
love
with
one
girl
which
is
being
played
by
Rashmika.
She
is
the
sole
female
lead
in
Pushpa
and
no
other
heroine
has
been
cast
for
the
second
lead."
Apart
from
the
heroine,
Pushpa
is
also
in
the
news
for
the
supporting
actor's
role
alongside
Allu
Arjun.
Earlier,
Vijay
Sethupathi
was
roped
in
to
play
the
supporting
role
in
Pushpa,
but
he
opted
out
later.
After
that,
a
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
stated
that
Sandalwood
actor
Dhananjay
will
be
replacing
Vijay
Sethupathi
in
Pushpa.
However,
an
official
confirmation
about
the
same
is
yet
to
come.
Coming
back
to
Rashmika
Mandanna,
the
actress
will
be
joining
the
sets
once
the
shooting
begins
after
the
government's
permission.
Pushpa
is
the
first
pan-India
project
of
Allu
Arjun,
in
which
he
will
be
playing
the
role
of
a
truck
driver
in
the
Seshachalam
forest
range.
Produced
by
Mythri
Movie
Makers,
Pushpa's
music
will
be
composed
by
Devi
Sri
Prasad.
