Pushpa 2: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, was released in theaters on December 5, 2024. In this film, the Telugu superstar portrays the main character, Pushpa Raj, while Fahadh Faasil plays the primary antagonist. However, Pushpa 2 did not resonate well with audiences, particularly regarding Fahadh's portrayal of Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Observers have noted that the actor seemed dissatisfied with his role, a sentiment he expressed in a previous interview.

Fahadh Faasil unhappy with his role in Pushpa 2?

A video excerpt from Fahadh Faasil’s interview with esteemed journalist Anupama Chopra for Film Companion has gained significant traction on social media following the release of Pushpa 2. In this clip, the National Award-winning actor expressed that the sequel has not contributed to his growth as an artist. “I convey the same to Sukumar sir. There is no need for me to conceal my feelings. I am being completely candid. My focus remains on my work here in Malayalam cinema,” stated the Aavesham actor during the interview.

From Fahadh Faasil’s remarks, it can be inferred that he possesses a clear understanding of the audience's reception regarding his role in Pushpa 2 after the film's debut. Film enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate Malayalam cinema, have expressed dissatisfaction with the development of Fahadh Faasil’s character, Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, in the film, suggesting that it does a disservice to such a talented actor. The absence of a formidable antagonist has evidently rendered Pushpa 2 a showcase primarily for the protagonist, Allu Arjun.
