Sukumar directed Pushpa 2, a sequel to the 2021 smash Pushpa: The Rise. The film digs deeper into the compelling story of Pushpa Raj, played by Allu Arjun, as he faces more difficult difficulties in the dangerous world of red sandalwood smuggling. It also heightens the tense competition between Pushpa and SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil. The film is now playing well in cinemas.
