Following a brief delay caused by "unforeseen technical issues", the makers of Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise have unveiled the trailer of the film.

The two-and-a-half-minute long footage promises an intense action thriller set in the backdrop of smuggling. While Allu Arjun is given ample space to flex his acting chops as the roughneck named Pushparaj, actors such as Anasuya Bharadwaj, Sunil, and Rashmika Mandanna leave a mark too.

Fahadh Faasil, who is essaying the main antagonist in the film, makes a brief but lasting impression towards the end of the trailer, which has gained over 3,20,000 likes within three hours of its premiere on YouTube. 

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa has music by Devi Sri Prasad and cinematography by Miroslaw Kuba Brozek.

The film is set to release on December 17 in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
