Director Sukumar will reportedly complete the next schedule of his movie Pushpa in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana now. He is shifting his shoot locations from Kerala to Andhra amidst the rising toll of Coronavirus positive cases in the country. Allu Arjun was slated to join for the rest of his shoot schedule in Kerala this year by March 2020, but the filing was halted. 

Since Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have partially eased the lockdown rules for the entertainment industry, it would be much easier for director Sukumar to complete the next schedule of shooting in AP and Telangana itself. Hence Sukumar along with other Tollywood filmmakers are now gearing up to resume shoots for their movies. 

According to the rumours, director Sukumar is shifting the location to Maredpalli forests in Rampachodavaram. Reportedly the makers are awaiting police permission to resume shoot in the forests of AP and Telangana. People are expecting that Sukumar might be using the same filming plans as he did for Rangasthalam, where most of his shoot locations were outside the urban areas.

Director Sukumar's last film Rangasthalam received a fantastic response from the moviegoers. Allu Arjun's last film Ala Vaikuntapuramloo emerged as one of the biggest hits of his career. The audience is eagerly awaiting the hit director-actor Jodi of Sukumar and Allu Arjun. Pushpa stars Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead while Kannada actor Dhananjay and Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty are also slated to appear in the film as well. 

Allu Arjun will reportedly play the role of a smuggler, while Vijay Sethupathi was reported to play the role of the forest officer in the film. However, recent reports state that Vijay Sethupathi has walked out of the film due to the controversial theme of the film. Following his exit, the makers have reportedly approached Bobby Simha from Disco Raja to play the role.
