The much anticipated film Pushpa 2: The Rule, which was initially slated for release on August 15, has been pushed back to December 6. Since then, there has been many speculations surrounding the delay in the movie's shooting schedule. Rumours were rife that the filming of the action entertainer has come to a halt due to a supposed rift between its lead actor, Allu Arjun, and director Sukumar.

Furthermore, it was reported that the gap between the actor and the director has caused the last minute cancellations of the film's shoot. However, sources close to the film's team have come forward to clarify that the rumours of a rift between Bunny and Sukumar are baseless. According to these sources, the recent shooting schedule did not take place as planned because Allu Arjun had gone for a family vacation.&nbsp;

Allu Arjun has now returned to Hyderabad and is all set to resume shooting on either July 22 or 25. Allu Arjun will be actively participating in the shoot from July 28th onwards. On the other hand Sukumar has went to USA for the studies of his daughter accompanied by Chandrabose to discuss about the song in the film.

The film's soundtrack has been generating significant buzz, with two songs already released to great response. The catchy and upbeat tunes composed by Devi Sri Prasad have been a major success. Given that Pushpa 2: The Rule is a pan-India release, director Sukumar is keen to wrap up the remaining portion of the entire shooting by October, allowing sufficient time for promotions. Unlike the first instalment, Sukumar plans to extensively promote the film in Hindi, ensuring a wider reach and greater impact among Hindi speaking audiences.
