The much-awaited first look poster featuring Sunil from Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s pan-India action drama, Pushpa The Rise, is released and how! Sunil has undergone a terrific makeover for his Mangalam Srinu’s character. Dressed in a silk shirt and gold chains, he looks mean and menacing in a tanned, dusky avatar.

In Pushpa The Rise, Sunil plays a negative role. In fact, it’s Sunil’s character that poses challenges to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj character in the first part, while Mollywood star Fahadh Faasil takes over from the film’s second half. It will be interesting to see how Sunil will cast his magic in an author-backed role penned by the maverick Sukumar.

Also starring Kannada actor Dhananjaya and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, Pushpa The Rise is slated for a December 17th release worldwide. Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media banners are jointly bankrolling this project. The songs composed by DSP have become a huge hit with fans.
