The much-awaited third part of director Sukumar's blockbuster pan-Indian franchise, Pushpa, featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, will release in 2028, as per one of the producers of the film.
During a recent video interview, Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar, producer at Mythri Movie Makers—the production house behind the franchise—reconfirmed that Pushpa 3 is on cards and gave details about its timeline.
"Pushpa 3 will definitely be made," said Ravi Shankar. "Allu Arjun is currently busy working on Atlee's film, then another with Trivikram. These two films will be completed in about two years, and then he will go on to Pushpa 3."
He also clarified director Sukumar's calendar and said, "Sukumar, too, has a movie scheduled with Ram Charan.". After that film is done, he will start working on Pushpa 3's script. We will begin production in roughly two and a half years. This time around, we won't keep it pending much—we will try to get the movie out to people within three and a half years. As of now, we are in 2025, so Pushpa 3 will release sometime in 2028.
In the meantime, Pushpa 2: The Rule, which was directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, recently achieved a victorious 100-day theatrical release.
The movie became the largest box office hit of 2024, creating new standards in the industry. Not only did it enthrall viewers, but it also broke box office records. It became the first ever Hindi film to cross the ₹800 crore mark while earning over ₹1,800 crore worldwide, becoming India's highest-grossing film ever.
The engaging story is about Pushpa Raj, a man who will not let anyone take anything from him again. His transformation from loss and hardship to becoming the boss of a mighty red sandalwood smuggling syndicate is the core of the story.
The Pushpa trilogy is made by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings and has music by T-Series. The second chapter was released on December 5, 2024, while the third installment is now officially scheduled for a 2028 release.
