First look of Allu Arjun from Pushpa: The Rule out 

Only earlier in the day, the makers of Pushpa released a special video titled 'Where is Pushpa?', on the occasion of Allu Arjun's birthday. The video gave a glimpse into the sequel, Pushpa: The Rule. Following this, the makers also released a first look poster featuring Allu Arjun in a heavily-ornamented look.

The first look shows Allu Arjun in the titular character Pushpa’s signature shoulder rise posture, as he is adorned with garlands, ornaments and draped in saree. Sporting a heavy facial make-up, Allu Arjun is seen holding a gun in one of his hands.

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa: The Rise was released in December 2021. Starring Rashmika Mandanna, Sunil, and Anasuya Bharadwaj, the film features Allu Arjun as the titular character. The period action drama shows the rise of a labourer Pushpa Raj to becoming the head of a smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood. While the first part featured a cameo appearance by Fahadh Faasil, Pushpa: The Rule is expected to feature him in a full-fledged role.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is poised for a theatrical release in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi in 2024. The period actioner has music by Devi Sri Prasad.

Happy Birthday to Icon Star @alluarjun 

If his RISE was imperious, his RULE will be epic
