Located at Narsingi, Kokapet, the studio is spread over 10 acres and has two floors reserved for shooting. "So far, only 30% of the work has been completed and the remaining works will be completed by the end of the year," says a source. 

Interestingly, Allu Arjun's much-awaited pan-India film Pushpa: The Rule will go on floors in the newly launched Allu Studios on Tuesday. Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2 is the sequel to the 2021 action thriller Pushpa: The Rise. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and Sunil in prominent roles, with Allu Arjun playing the role of a sandalwood smuggling kingpin.

Recently, the makers have finalised the new look of the Race Gurram actor for the part. "Pushpa: The Rule will be the first film to be shot at Allu Studios and it's special because the film features Allu Ramalingaiah's grandson as the protagonist. The team is planning a two-week schedule and will be filming crucial scenes on Allu Arjun and others during this time," says a source close to the production.

Released on December 17 last year, Pushpa: The Rise, went on to become one of the highest grossing Telugu films. It is produced by Mythri Movie Makers, and has music composed by by Devi Sri Prasad.
