Manoj Bajpayee has denied the rumours about him starring in Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s 2021 Telugu blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise sequel. The actor on Wednesday posted a tweet quoting a news report on Twitter and wrote, “Kaha Kaha se samachar laatein ho aap log? (From where do you get these updates?),” followed by laughing emoticons.

Also, in a recent interview with News18, Manoj Bajpayee called the reports “false”. He said, “No truth! False news! That’s all I can say!”. 

The upcoming sequel will focus on the face-off between Pushpa ( played by Allu Arjun) and SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat (played by Fahadh Faasil). Pushpa: The Rise was released last year in December in four regional languages – Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. The sequel was supposed to go on the floors immediately after the release of Pushpa: The Rise, but as per reports, the makers have decided to rewrite the script.
