Pushpa 2 Faces Backlash in Kerala Over Fahadh Faasil’s Role

Affectionately referred to as “Fafa” by his Malayalam fans, Fahadh’s portrayal as the antagonist captivated audiences in the first installment. However, many feel his role in Pushpa 2 fell short of expectations. Critics argue that his character, initially showcased with depth and intensity in the first half, is reduced to a comical figure in the latter half. Adding to the dissatisfaction is Fahadh’s limited screen presence toward the film’s climax, leaving fans wanting more.

This perceived sidelining of Fahadh has sparked discussions among Malayali viewers, with some attributing the film’s underwhelming performance in Kerala to this very issue. Fans are now curious if Sukumar will address these concerns in future projects or public discussions.

Despite these grievances, Pushpa 2 continues to soar globally, solidifying its place as one of the year’s biggest hits. However, for Fahadh Faasil's loyal fanbase, the sequel remains a bittersweet experience.
