Allu Arjun's first look teaser from Pushpa was released on April 7 by Mythri Movie Makers, and the video gained over 53 million views on YouTube within three weeks of its release.

The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa are being directed by Sukumar, who is known for his last hit Rangasthalam, starring Ram Charan and Samantha Akkineni. Pushpa has Fahadh Faasil playing the antagonist.

Pushpa is set to release in five languages, including Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil simultaneously. The movie is tentatively scheduled for release on August 13 this year. However, with the increase in the number of coronavirus cases, several movies like Love Story, Aacharya, Virata Parvam and others have announced that they are postponing the release as of now.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun was last seen in Ala Vaikuntapuramuloo along with Pooja Hegde. The movie, which came under the direction of Trivikram, was a hit at the box office.
