Allu Arjun exclusive look for Pushpa 2: The Rule

Allu Arjun, our very own Pushpa AKA Pushparaj, made the entire world sit up and take notice of him with his performance in director Sukumar’s directorial. In 2021, Pushpa: The Rise earned over Rs 400 crore globally. Now, fans are eagerly waiting for the release of its second part, Pushpa: The Rule.

On April 7, the makers of Pushpa 2 dropped a stunning poster in which Allu Arjun is dressed as a woman. The striking poster has Allu Arjun wearing a saree with heavy jewellery and a pistol in one hand.

The poster went viral within a few minutes after its release. In fact, it made fans curious as to why Allu Arjun is dressed as a woman in Pushpa 2. Netizens came up with their own theories and we present you three possible scenarios.

While fans are showering praises and expressing their excitement to explore more about the movie and Pushpa’s journey, Allu Arjun’s look left several others confused. Some even went on to make some irrelevant comments to trolling the look. Moreover, some went on to appeal to boycott the movie as Pushpa’s look resembles Maa Kali. Allu Arjun is seen all over in blue while wearing a garland of lemons and flowers, nose studs, big earrings, a blouse and a zari saree.

However, a section of users claimed that Pushpa’s look is related to some religious rituals practiced in south India. Users claimed that such a ritual is practiced during Chittoor’s Ganga Maa Yatra, a folk festival observed in regions of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. But, there are no official reports backing such claims.

It could be a disguise that Pushpa opts for while being underground or it could be the look while offering prayers just before bouncing back to his world of crime.
