With Covid-19 pandemic spreading faster than anticipated, Allu Arjun and team, Pushpa are unable to think about starting the shoot in forests. They may have to wait for longer than usual time if the spread continues to be a persistent issue. So, they have decided to check alternatives, it seems. They thought about putting up sets in near by villages or going to forest areas in Telugu states.
Many artists from Mumbai and other states have expressed safety concerns. Hence, they are now thinking about starting the shoot within the Studios by going for Forest set and improve it in VFX. Sukumar and his team are researching on this technology, it seems. How much ever they can create in sets, they want to create and then enhance it with VFX, it seems. If their experiment works out with a limited cast, then they will go for it for full film to wrap it up as quickly as possible and not wait for longer periods of time, as uncertainty is growing with each day. Allu Arjun on the other hand is looking to keep himself fit and jog in the Night time which he in normal circumstances, cannot enjoy.
