'Pushpa' Director Sukumar To Work With Tamil Superstar Thalapathy Vijay!

Chennai, December 31 - Director Sukumar is winning praises for his latest directorial "Pushpa - The Rise", starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the leading roles. Sukumar has also written the script of the film, which is a two-part release. The second part will release in December next year.

The acclaimed director revealed in a recent interview that he had got an offer to narrate a story to Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay after the Telugu blockbuster "Rangasthalam" (2018). However, things didn't materialize due to various reasons.



Director Sukumar, however, promised to come up with something different for Thalapathy Vijay. He said that he would have a look at Vijay's filmography so far and would get an idea of the choices of his film to write a story for him and direct it as well.

Meanwhile, Sukumar will next be directing the second part of Pushpa, titled "Pushpa - The Rule". After completing this Allu Arjun-starrer, Sukumar will head to his next, which is with Ram Charan. The shoot of that untitled film is likely to begin by the end of next year. He also has a film with Telugu heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda, which will begin in 2023.

Thalapathy Vijay, on the other hand, is currently busy in his next, titled "Beast". After this Nelson Dilipkumar's director, the "Master" actor will commence filming of director Vamsi Paidipally's Tamil-Telugu bilingual film, to be produced by Dil Raju. It is said to be the costliest film of Thalapathy's career.

By the looks of the busy schedules of both Sukumar and Thalapathy Vijay, it is clear that their film together is unlikely to start before 2023.
