Pushpa 2: The Rule is one of the most awaited movies. While Allu Arjun is currently working on the sequel of his blockbuster film, it has now been reported that the shooting of Pushpa 2 has been halted and postponed due to the National Award-winning actor’s health issue.

Pushpa 2 Shooting Postponed

As reported by Hindustan Times, the shooting of Pushpa 2 has been postponed for two weeks due to severe pain in Allu Arjun’s back. “Allu Arjun was in the jatara get-up to shoot for a song and a fight sequence. However, the costume and the vigorous scenes gave him severe back pain. Bunny was game to continue shooting despite it but Sukumar decided to take a break instead of affecting his health further,” a source cited by the news portal said and then added, “Shooting will pick up again once he recuperates.”

Written and directed by Sukumar, Pushpa: The Rise was released in 2021 and turned out to be a blockbuster movie. The action drama dealt with red sandalwood smuggling. Allu Arjun recently won the Best Actor National Award for her performance in the movie.
