Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna will begin shooting for their upcoming pan-Indian film, Pushpa, tomorrow. The film's production house, Mythri Movie Makers shared a video of the ongoing pre-production work on Twitter earlier today.

Allu Arjun, who delivered a blockbuster with Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo earlier this year, is returning to work after nearly nine months.

The new schedule of Pushpa will kick-start in the forests of Maredumilli with an action sequence composed by fight masters Ram-Lakshman. Set in the backdrop of red sanders smuggling in Seshachalam forests, Pushpa features Allu Arjun as a lorry driver named Pushpa Raj. The Race Gurram actor has reportedly mastered the Chittoor dialect for his role. Kannada actor Dhananjay has been roped in for a crucial role and Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi has been approached to play the antagonist.

Pushpa has music by Devi Sri Prasad and the makers are planning to release the film next summer.
