Fahadh Faasil unhappy with his role in Allu Arjun, Sukumar’s film? The actor’s comment goes viral

Pushpa 2: The Rule, the Allu Arjun starrer directed by Sukumar, finally hit the theaters on December 5, 2024. The movie, which features the Telugu superstar as the titular character Pushpa Raj, while Fahadh Faasil appears as the lead antagonist. Pushpa 2, however, failed to impress the audiences with Fahadh’s characterization as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, in the film. The netizens now suggest that the actor was equally unhappy with his role in the film, and conveyed the same in an interview, earlier.

A video clip, which is taken from Fahadh Faasil’s interview with senior journalist Anupama Chopra for Film Companion, is going viral on social media after the release of Pushpa 2. In the video, the National Award-winning actor has stated that the Pushpa sequel has not done anything for him, as an artist. “I tell Sukumar sir the same. I don’t have to hide it. I’m being very honest. I’m doing my stuff here (in Malayalam cinema),” said the Aavesham actor, in the interview.

From Fahadh Faasil’s words, it is safe to assume that the actor was quite sure about how the audiences are going to feel about his characterization in Pushpa 2, after the film release. The cinephiles, especially the Malayalam cinema audiences are unhappy with the arc of Fahadh Faasil’s character Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the film, and are now suggesting that it was such a disservice to a seasoned actor like him. The lack of a strong antagonist has clearly made Pushpa 2 an mere one-man-show of protagonist Allu Arjun.

Fahadh Faasil is NOT a part of Pushpa 3?

According to the grapevine, Fahadh Faasil has decided not to be a part of Pushpa 3: The Rampage, the upcoming third installment of Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s franchise. Even though Pushpa 2 has not confirmed if the actor’s character Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat ended with the second part, the makers already introduced a new antagonist in the film’s climax. As per the reports, Fahadh Faasil is planning to solely focus on author-backed, performance-oriented roles, and has decided to cut downs on supporting roles.
