Fans of the popular Telugu movie Pushpa eagerly await the release of its sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule. Since its announcement the film has generated a wave of fan theories and predictions about what will unfold in this action-packed drama. Directed by Sukumar and featuring Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, Pushpa became a massive hit, especially for its gritty story of a man’s rise in the red sandalwood smuggling world. Pushpa 2 is set to continue his journey and fans are speculating wildly about what’s next.
Theory 1: Fahadh Faasil’s Character Becomes Pushpa’s Main Enemy
One of the most popular fan theories suggests that Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat played by Fahadh Faasil will be the main antagonist in Pushpa 2. In the first film, we saw Pushpa establish himself as a dominant force in the red sandalwood smuggling world. By the end Shekhawat appears as a significant threat to Pushpa’s reign. In the sequel, fans believe Shekhawat will take his revenge seriously aiming to destroy Pushpa and everyone who supports him.
According to this theory Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat will use every resource at his disposal to make life difficult for Pushpa. He’ll likely get the police force on his side, disrupting Pushpa’s business operations and attacking him personally. This revenge-fueled showdown could mean that the stakes will be even higher and fans are expecting some intense action sequences.
Theory 2: Bhanwar Singh Ambushes Pushpa, Leading to Tragic Losses
Building on the previous theory, some fans believe that Shekhawat will go as far as ambushing Pushpa. In this imagined scenario, Shekhawat tries to kill Pushpa but ends up hitting his loved ones instead. Many fans speculate that Rashmika Mandanna’s character, Srivalli, will be tragically killed during this ambush, leading Pushpa to hide in the forest heartbroken and grieving.
This theory suggests that after losing Srivalli, Pushpa will experience a transformation becoming more ruthless and focused on revenge. It could also provide viewers with a chance to see a more emotional side of Pushpa’s character highlighting his vulnerabilities and how he copes with loss.
Theory 3: Pushpa and Shekhawat Are Long-Lost Brothers
A more dramatic theory speculates that Shekhawat and Pushpa might be long-lost siblings. According to this storyline, the two share the same mother but were separated at birth. Pushpa was raised in poverty, while Shekhawat grew up with a different life, unaware of his brother’s existence. This shared bloodline could add a layer of complexity to their rivalry.
Fans who support this theory believe that Pushpa and Shekhawat’s intense rivalry will have more depth if it’s revealed that they’re brothers. They’d be fighting not only for control over the smuggling world but also dealing with emotions around family and abandonment. This would create a dramatic conflict, emphasizing the contrast between Pushpa’s loyalty and Shekhawat’s thirst for power.
Theory 4: A Redemption Arc for Shekhawat
Another theory circulating among fans is that Shekhawat may eventually regret his actions. As the theory goes after facing Pushpa in several battles, Shekhawat may start to respect Pushpa for his strength and resilience. This could lead to an unexpected twist where Shekhawat redeems himself by acknowledging Pushpa’s charitable side seeing him as a complex man rather than just a rival.
In this scenario, Pushpa and Shekhawat might even team up to take down a greater enemy threatening their families or their territory. Fans believe this redemption arc could give Pushpa 2 an emotionally satisfying ending, showing that even the worst enemies can find common ground.
Theory 5: The Dramatic Conclusion – A Brotherly Bond
In an extension of the redemption arc theory, some fans think that Pushpa and Shekhawat’s relationship will end on a more emotional note. They imagine that after intense confrontations, Pushpa and Shekhawat will ultimately find out they are brothers, realizing that their rivalry was misguided. They might come together to work for a common cause or even become allies in the end.
The theory ends with Pushpa and Shekhawat sharing a heartfelt moment, bonding over their shared past and future. Some fans even speculate that Pushpa could bring Shekhawat into his family, symbolically healing old wounds and creating a new alliance for a peaceful future.
With Pushpa 2 yet to release, these fan theories keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Each theory brings a unique perspective on what might happen next in Pushpa’s life. Whether it’s a tragic loss, an epic rivalry, a shocking family twist or a redemption arc fans are thrilled to see how director Sukumar and actor Allu Arjun will unfold this highly anticipated sequel.
Until Pushpa 2: The Rule finally hits theaters, the fans’ imaginations are running wild.
