Rashmika Mandanna previously teased Pushpa 2, promising that the film will be 'bigger' than before. 'I assure you that Pushpa 2 will be considerably bigger. We delivered some crazy in the first film; with Part 2, we realize we have a duty since people have high expectations for the picture. We are continually and intentionally striving to provide that. I recently shot a song for Pushpa 2, and I was like, 'How are you guys thinking about this?' Everyone is really motivated to produce a fantastic picture. We've all gone all out and are thoroughly enjoying the process. It's a narrative with no ending; you may take it any direction. "It's fun,".

In addition to Rashmika, Pushpa 2 stars Allu Arjun in the pivotal role. His first look poster for Pushpa 2 was revealed last year. Allu Arjun is seen on the billboard wearing a saree and having his face painted blue and red. He also wore cosmetics and rich traditional gold and floral jewellery. In addition, the billboard shows him wearing jhumkas, a nose ring, and bangles.
