Post
the
super
success
of
Ala
Vaikunthapurramuloo
(2020),
fans
and
followers
of
Allu
Arjun
are
eyeing
his
next
Pushpa.
Written
and
directed
by
Sukumar,
the
rural
drama
will
have
Stylish
Star
playing
a
rough
and
tough
role.
The
film's
shooting
was
halted
owing
to
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown
imposed
in
the
two
states
(Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana).
Well
now,
as
the
lockdown
has
been
lifted,
the
team
is
gearing
up
to
return
to
the
sets
to
complete
the
remaining
portions.
According
to
reports,
the
film's
shooting
will
resume
from
the
first
week
of
July.
Reportedly,
Allu
Arjun
and
Rashmika
Mandanna
will
be
a
part
of
the
next
schedule,
which
will
take
place
in
Hyderabad.
Apart
from
that,
it
is
also
said
that
Bunny
has
started
prepping
for
the
film
by
hitting
the
gym
to
work
on
his
physique
required
for
Pushpa.
Interestingly,
the
actor
is
currently
getting
training
under
the
supervision
of
a
popular
fitness
coach.
For
the
unversed,
the
superstar
will
be
joining
his
team
post
recovering
from
COVID-19.
Allu
Arjun
had
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
on
April
28
and
later
recovered
after
following
a
strict
quarantine.
Coming
back
to
Pushpa,
80
percent
of
the
film's
shooting
has
been
completed
with
only
a
few
high
octane
sequences
and
dance
numbers
left
to
be
shot.
Also
featuring
Fahadh
Faasil,
Jagapathi
Babu,
Prakash
Raj,
Dhananjay,
Sunil,
Harish
Uthaman,
Vennela
Kishore
and

Bharadwaj
in

roles,
the
rural
drama's
technical
team
includes
music
composer

Prasad,

and

that
the
makers
might
drop
the

the
days
to
