Atlee's upcoming project with Allu Arjun is still in production and may not release before 2027. If Sukumar plans to continue Pushpa as a multi-part story, completing the script for the third film could take another year or more.
Meanwhile, Sukumar is also working on a pan-India film with Ram Charan, leaving little time for Pushpa 3 until 2027.
Additionally, Allu Arjun is exploring opportunities in Bollywood and is in talks with Hindi filmmakers. He is keen to expand his presence beyond the Pushpa franchise, which could delay his return to the role. Balancing multiple projects may stretch the timeline further.
If Pushpa 3 does happen, it is likely to be a pan-India blockbuster due to the franchise's popularity. However, Sukumar's perfectionism and the scale of the project suggest that careful planning and execution could take several years. Releasing Pushpa 3 within the next five years seems challenging, but fans remain hopeful.
