Kamal Haasan watches Pushpa with composer Devi Sri Prasad, Allu Arjun says he is humbled

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan recently watched Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise with composer Devi Sri Prasad. Impressed with the movie, Kamal Haasan lauded the film’s cast and crew.

Pushpa star Allu Arjun thanked the veteran for watching his movie and said he was humbled.

Devi Sri Prasad took to Twitter to thank Kamal Haasan for watching Pushpa.

He wrote: “Dearest Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan sir. Thank you so much for taking out time and watching our Pushpa: The Rise on Prime. You are the sweetest, sir. Thank you for all the lovely words about the work of all of us."

Replying to Devi Sri Prasad’s tweet, Allu Arjun wrote: “Thank you for watching Pushpa Kamal Haasan garu. Humbled.”

Directed by Sukumar, the film features Arjun as a lorry driver who smuggles red sandalwood. Though Pushpa opened to a mixed response from audiences and critics alike, it has gone on to mint big numbers at the ticket window.

Originally shot in Telugu, Pushpa was also dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. It is Allu Arjun's first film to have a simultaneous release in five languages. It is also his first release in Hindi.

The film did very well at the box office, grossing over Rs300 crore worldwide and minting big numbers in every language it was released in, including Hindi.

It was recently confirmed at the film’s thanksgiving meet that the second part will be released in more languages. The makers have already confirmed that the second part will be released in cinemas in December 2022. Titled, Pushpa: The Rule, it will focus on the face-off between Arjun and Fahadh Faasil, who was introduced as the prime antagonist towards the end of the first part.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film has music by Devi Sri Prasad. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Sunil, among others.
