Like director Shankar, Sukumar is extremely vigilant about preventing leaks from his film sets. Known for his strict on-set regulations, Shankar prohibits crew members from using phones.
Similarly, Sukumar has implemented comparable measures during the production of "Pushpa: The Rule." Following the tremendous success of "Pushpa: The Rise," the first instalment of the franchise, expectations for the sequel are soaring. The filmmakers are acutely aware of the intense interest in the project and are committed to keeping story details under wraps to preserve the element of surprise for the audience.
According to a report from a daily, the director has taken the extreme measure of shooting multiple endings for the film to ensure that no one knows how it will conclude. This strategy is designed to keep even the crew members uncertain about which scenes will be included in the final cut.
Additionally, the director plans for a third instalment, and having multiple endings provides flexibility for the future of the franchise. Allu Arjun has previously confirmed that "Pushpa" will become a franchise and that a third part is in the works.
"Pushpa: The Rule," starring Rashmika Mandanna, Jagapati Babu, and Fahadh Faasil in lead roles, will depict Pushpa’s rise in the red sandalwood smuggling underworld. With music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, the film has generated significant anticipation, especially after the release of the second single, "Soseki," which includes glimpses from the film’s sets. "Pushpa: The Rule" is set to release on August 15.
