The Pushpa 2 teaser begins showing a jatara taking place where the devotees are seen offering their prayers to Goddess Kali. The visuals then turn to shots of a ghungroo, jhumkas, and someone with their eyes lined with kohl and a bindi on the forehead. We then see a person in a blue silk saree turning around with a Trishul before we are introduced to Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj as Goddess Kali and beating up the thugs in the crowd. The Pushpa 2 The Rule teaser showcases Allu Arjun looking captivating and more ruthless than he previously did in Pushpa: The Rise, and fans will no doubt be looking for him to come out firing on all cylinders once again. 

Pushpa 2 also stars national sensation Rashmika Mandanna, who is returning as Srivalli, while Malayalam superstar Fahadh Faasil as the antagonist SP Bhanwar Singh Shekawat IPS and his confrontation with Allu Arjun's Pushpa Raj is set to be a major highlight. The film will feature songs and a background score by Devi Sri Prasad, who along with Allu Arjun were honored for Best Music Direction and Best Actor, respectively, at the 69th National Film Awards for their work in Pushpa: The Rise. 

Watch the Pushpa 2: The Rule teaser below: 

Tamil actor Ajrun Das will next be seen in the much awaited Tami-Hindi bilingual film Por / Dange alongside Kalidas Jayaram, TJ Bhanu, and Sanchana Natarajan under David (2013) fame Bejoy Nambiar's direction. Speaking to the media on Monday, February 26, at the upcoming film's press meet, the young sensation, who also played a pivotal role in 'Thalapathy' Vijay's blockbuster Master (2021), opened up on the possibility of reprising his role as Anbu Das from Kaithi (2019) in the planned sequel, Kaithi 2 under filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction.

Addressing whether he will be seen in Kaithi 2, Arjun Das stated, "Lokesh sir only can tell that. It will be wonderful if he calls me. It's a good thing I didn't die in the LCU. So, hopefully, I believe I'll be there in the film. Let's see." Tamil cinema fans noticed noted Arjun make an appearance as Anbu in 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan's Vikram (2022), which went on to become a raging box-office success and thus established the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Seen towards the final moments in Vikram, Arjun alongside Harish Uthaman, who played Adaikalam in Kaithi, left fans excited with their cameos in the Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil-starrer, which included a rocking guest appearance by Suriya as Rolex, and the wait will now be on for what Lokesh Kanagaraj has planned next for their characters in Kaithi 2, which will see Karthi reprising his role as Dilli. 

Although not many details are known about Kaithi 2 at this point, it is believed that filming on the project will take off after Lokesh Kanagaraj completes shooting his next big film, the tentatively titled Thalaivar 171 with 'Superstar' Rajinikanth. Karthi too is busy with his current slate of projects  that includes Karthi 26 with director Nalan Kumarasamy of Soodhu Kavvum (2013) and Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum (2016) fame and Karthi 27 under Prem Kumar's direction, who impressed audiences with his 96 (2018). 

The excitement for the highly-anticipated Leo trailer releasing on Thursday, October 5, is at an all-time high among 'Thalapathy' Vijay's fans as a new poster featuring 'Action King' Arjun has now been unveiled by broadcasting Tamil channel Sun TV on their social media handles. This new poster has come as a big treat for fans, who are eagerly waiting to witness the first action-packed visuals from the film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The new Leo trailer poster featured on Arjun's character Harold Das shows him seated on a luxury high-back chair and smoking a cigarette while having an intense look in his eyes as he is seen staring up ahead. 

This latest Leo trailer poster is also the next big promotional material unveiled for Arjun's character Harold Das after an intriguing, intense, and action-packed glimpse was released on his birthday on August 15. The actor-filmmaker is set to be seen in a crucial role and will be playing a character with many negative shades as was witnessed in the glimpse, which showed him leading an army of gangsters and drug peddlers, while also chopping off the hand of Sandy master as a form of punishment. With Arjun's Harold Das following suit after Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt's Antony Das poster yesterday, there is buzz that another poster featured on Vijay as Leo Das will be unveiled tomorrow along with the timing of the Leo trailer release by Sun TV.

We then see the upcoming film's director Sukumar welcome the Telugu actor, who then undergoes a makeup session, while also opting for a costume change. Explaining the difference in the response he gets at home in comparison to around the globe, Allu Arjun says, "Fans in India are different from the rest of the world. You have to see it. I can’t explain." Sharing the video, Instagram wrote, "Enter Ramoji Film City, located in Hyderabad, India. It’s one of the world’s largest film studio complexes and home to Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun’s latest action-packed sequel. The studio also serves as a regular hangout for fans eager to meet their hero before shooting."

It’s their love that makes me push my boundaries, and I want to make them really proud — like, more proud and more proud." Though his family has been in the film industry for three decades, and Allu Arjun has acted in dozens of Indian films, Pushpa 2 is his biggest film so far. The actor says, "If there’s one thing about Pushpa that I really like, it’s his never-give-up character."

The upcoming thriller is gearing up for its grand release in cinemas starting July 21 and promotions have officially kicked off with the film's action-packed official trailer now released. Aneethi sees Arjun Das sharing screen space with Dusara Vijayan, who became a heart-throb after her powerful performances in Sarpatta Parambarai (2021), Natchathiram Nagargiradhu (2022), and more recently in Arulnithi's Kazhuvethi Moorkkan, with Kaali Venkat, Bigg Boss stars Vanitha Vijayakumar, Suresh Chakravarthi and Aranthangi Nisha, Nerkonda Paarvai actor Arjun Chidambaram, producer JSK Satishkumar, Bharani, Shah Ra cast in major supporting roles.

We see the visuals showing his character going through a journey where he's put to the test on a number of occasions when he comes across various people and the overall social system that keeps pushing him down till he meets Dushara Vijayan and decides to embark on the path of meditation. The Aneethi trailer cuts on several occasions showing Arjun Das getting beaten up by the police, while Dushara too is seen with physical injuries, and Arjun Chidambaran essays a negative role.
