“Pushpa: The Rise” became a huge hit in the Telugu film industry, largely due to Allu Arjun’s lead role and the contributions of actors like Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, who gained fame for playing Allu Arjun’s friend. However, Jagadeesh’s recent arrest due to a case involving the harassment of a woman, resulting in her tragic demise, has complicated matters for the film.
The film’s creators had written a significant role for Jagadeesh in the sequel, “Pushpa: The Rule,” given his positive reception by audiences. But his arrest has thrown the production into chaos. There were talks of the film’s producers attempting to bail Jagadeesh out temporarily to continue shooting smoothly, but his confession to the crime makes securing bail a difficult task.
Despite the production house’s efforts, they have not been successful in securing Jagadeesh’s release for the shoot, leaving the team with limited options. They might have to either find a replacement and re-shoot crucial scenes or employ a stand-in for his role.
This unexpected situation has caused unnecessary stress for the film’s crew, who are working tirelessly to complete shooting and meet the film’s release schedule. The production is being handled by Mythri Movie Makers, and they’re facing an uphill battle in finding a solution to this dilemma.
