Pushpa,
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
Allu
Arjun
starrer
has
finally
got
its
villain.
Fahadh
Faasil,
the
National
award-winning
Malayalam
actor
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
antagonist
in
Pushpa.
The
exciting
update
was
announced
by
the
production
banner
Mythri
Movie
Makers,
through
a
special
video
posted
on
social
media.
"Welcoming
#FahadhFaasil
on
board
for
the
biggest
face-off." wrote
Mythri
Movie
Makers
in
their
social
media
post.
Pushpa
thus
marks
the
Telugu
cinema
debut
of
Fahadh,
who
is
one
of
the
most
sought-after
talents
of
the
South
Indian
film
industry.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
National
award-winner
is
not
playing
a
quintessential
baddie
in
the
Sukumar
directorial
but
has
a
performance-oriented
role.
The
producers
of
Pushpa,
Naveen
Yerneni,
and
Y
Ravi
Shankar
said:
"Fahadh
Faasil
has
entertained
viewers
with
varied
films
and
earned
tremendous
acclaim
along
with
it.
It
makes
us
very
happy
to
welcome
him
into
the
world
of
Pushpa.
We
are
confident
that
his
portrayal
of
the
villain
will
engage
viewers
in
a
way
that's
unique
to
his
delivery
of
performance."
The
cine-goers
are
highly
excited
to
watch
the
Allu
Arjun-Fahadh
Faasil
face-off
in
Pushpa,
which
is
unarguably
one
of
the
most-awaited
upcoming
projects
of
the
Telugu
film
industry.
With
Fahadh
coming
on
board
as
the
villain
of
Pushpa,
the
already
famous
Allu
Arjun
film
will
undoubtedly
have
an
increase
in
demand
in
Kerala.
Pushpa,
which
is
said
to
be
a
complete
action
thriller,
features
Rashmika
Mandanna
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Allu
Arjun.
Devi
Sri
Prasad
composes
the
songs
and
original
score
for
the
Sukumar
directorial.
Miroslaw
Kuba
Brozek
is
the
director
of
photography.
Pushpa
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
August
13,
2021,
as
an
Independence
weekend
release.
