**Hyderabad, India** – The highly anticipated Telugu action film, *Pushpa: The Rule*, has already broken box office records, grossing an estimated ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million USD) in advance bookings alone. The film’s midnight premieres were met with fervent fan enthusiasm, and now, the makers have delivered another surprise: an official announcement of a third installment, *Pushpa: The Rampage*.
The announcement wasn’t made via social media, but rather during a post-credit scene in *Pushpa: The Rule* itself. While the identity of the villain in *Pushpa 3* remains undisclosed, rumors suggest that Vijay Deverakonda, star of *Arjun Reddy*, might be cast in the role. This would mark a significant shift from the previous films, which featured Fahadh Faasil and Jagapathi Babu as antagonists. The film is expected to feature even more intense action sequences than its predecessors.
*Pushpa: The Rise*, the first film in the franchise, earned ₹108 crore domestically and ₹400 crore worldwide. *Pushpa: The Rule* is predicted to have a blockbuster opening, with worldwide earnings potentially reaching ₹250 crore on its first day. This massive success, coupled with the announcement of a third film, solidifies *Pushpa*’s place as a major cinematic franchise.
