National Crush Rashmika will be seen playing the female lead, while Malayalam actor Fahadh is essaying the lead antagonist in the film, which is releasing in two parts.

The rural drama follows Pushpa Raj (played by Allu Arjun), a truck driver who trades red sanders smuggling. Though the film was initially slated to release on August 13, 2021, the makers decided to postpone the date owing to the surge in the COVID-19 pandemic. Pushpa: The Rise will release in Telugu and dubbed versions of Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi.

Also featuring Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, Vennela Kishore, Sritej, Harish Uthaman in key roles, the film has music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, while photography and editing departments are headed by Mirosław Kuba Brożek and Karthik Srinivas respectively.
