‘Pushpa’: Sunil’s evil look raises the stakes

Published by rajeshe092eb6a68

The suspense over the look of Sunil’s character in ‘Pushpa’ has come to an end. While it was always known that the actor is playing a negative role in the Allu Arjun-starrer, his precise look was made official on Sunday. As Mangalam Srinu, Sunil will be seen in a fearsome role. Going by his get-up and grimace in the poster, the actor has got so much up his sleeve.

Director Sukumar needs to be lauded for experimenting with the comedian at a time when he is back to playing comedy roles in movies such as ‘Chitralahari’ and ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’. Last year, ‘Colour Photo’ cast Sunil in a negative role but it was not a mass movie unlike ‘Puhpa’.

Almost the entire talkie part of ‘Pushpa’ is over. A song in the presence of 1000 dancers was shot recently on a set. With music by Devi Sri Prasad, the period drama has Rashmika Mandanna as the heroine. ‘Pushpa’ has Fahadh Faasil as an IPS officer. Its action sequences will be top-notch, a source says. 

The film will hit the screens on December 17.
