Allu Arjun’s Pushpa is probably the biggest release this year across the country and a major contributor to people running to theaters as well. Those of you who’ve watched the film might share the sentiments of many fans who were intrigued with a particular shot. The climax which has Allu and Fahadh together wearing Bermudas was a bit odd for many viewers, aesthetically. Now, the director of the movie, Sukumar has revealed some details which would explain why one would feel so.

In a recent interview, Sukumar spoke about the original shot, which actually involved both of them going nude. “I wanted both of them to be completely nude in that scene. We would not show them nude on screen but would give a feeling that they are nude. But then, I dropped the idea at the last minute thinking it may be too much for the Telugu audience,” he explained.

Earlier a scene involving Allu Arjun touching Rashmika Mandanna in the film evoked negative sentiments. Despite shelving and cropping some raw scenes which were pivotal to the script, Pushpa has managed to stay realistic in all ways. The second part of the film is already in the pipeline and the crew will start filming around March next year.

Pushpa: The Rise follows the violence that erupts between red sandalwood smugglers and the police working to bring them down. Here’s hoping that the director is able to venture with some more strong aesthetic sequences which will serve as a great catalyst for storytelling.
