Rashmika Mandanna plays the lead opposite Allu Arjun in the fim. She plays the character of Srivalli. The actress recently wrapped up the shoot of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal. She shared a set of photos on her Instagram handle with a huge caption to express her gratitude to the makers of the film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film also stars Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in important roles.

First look of Pushpa: The Rule 

The first poster of Pushpa: The Rule was released by its makers earlier in April. The poster featured Allu Arjun coated in blue paint and red saree. The actor was adorned with garlands, earrings, bangles, and rings. Arjun's Pushpa Raj also wielded a gun in his hand, which suggests that the sequel of Pushpa will be action packed and gory. The poster also gave a nod to the local tradition. The locals in Tirupati dress themselves up for the local Gangamma Jathara (a folk festival in Tirupathi and surrounding regions) in a similar manner. The actor pulled off the Ardhanarishvara attire (Lord who is half female) with finesse.

Allu Arjun plays the role of Pushpa Raj, a labourer who rises in the ranks to become a kingpin in red sandalwood mafia in Pushpa: The Rise. Now, the second part, Pushpa: The Rule will pick up directly after the events of the first film. It will feature a showdown between Pushpa Raj and Fahadh Faasil, who plays Bhanwar Singh. Meanwhile, Rashmika will reprise her role as Srivalli in the film.
