SIVAKARTHIKEYAN’S VILLAIN NOW BECOMES ALLU ARJUN’S VILLAIN IN PUSHPA

With the success of Ala Vaikunthapuramloo, which released last year, the fan-base for Allu Arjun also increased across India. Coming to Pushpa, directed by Sukumar, the film is based on real events.

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who recently made a name for herself as the ‘National Crush’, is paired with Allu Arjun in the film. She also has a handful of films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. Rashmika will soon make her Tamil debut with Karthi's Sultan.

Vijay Sethupathi, who played a negative role opposite Madhavan in Vikram Veda, played the villain for Rajini in Petta. VJS, who played the villain for Vijay in this year's Master movie, is using the opportunities to play the villain in several Indian language films.

While it was initially rumoured that VJS would be the villain, it has now been announced that popular Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil would play the antagonist. Fahadh has already played the villain in Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara starrer Velaikkaran, directed by Mohan Raja.
