Pushpa: Fahadh Faasil’s character poster from Allu Arjun film to be out on this date

For those waiting for Fahadh Faasil’s turn as an antagonist won’t have to hold their breath for much longer. The makers of Allu Arjun’s much-anticipated movie Pushpa have announced that they are planning to reveal Fahadh’s look in the movie soon. 

In a surprise Twitter announcement, Mythri Movie Makers, who are producing the ‘mass’ action entertainer, tweeted, “You’ve seen Pushpa Raj, now meet his nemesis.” The tweet was accompanied by a poster highlighting Fahadh’s eye along with the tagline, “Evil was never so dangerous.”

The character poster is scheduled to be revealed on August 28 at 10:08am. The movie, which is written and directed by Sukumar, will be released in two parts with the first one titled Pushpa: The Rise set to hit theatres in December 2021. The second part will release in 2022.

Fahadh will reportedly only star in the first instalment of the movie, which also has Prakash Raj, Jagapathi Babu, Harish Uthaman and Anasurya Bharadwaj in key roles. The movie, which is reportedly based on red sanders smuggling in Andhra Pradesh, has Allu Arjun and Rashmika playing a married couple.

The mega budget movie, which is Sukumar’s next project after Rangasthalam, will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. The Telugu production also marks the biggest film in Fahadh’s career. 

Meanwhile, Fahadh will also be playing villain in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram, which has Kamal Haasan and Vijay Sethupathi as part of the cast. The Malayalam actor recently completed his portions for Malayankunju, which is directed by P Sajimon and is scripted by Malik filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan.
