Fahadh Faasil Speaks About His Role in Pushpa: No Magic
Fahadh Faasil on Pushpa: “It Didn’t Elevate Me”
Pushpa 2: The Rule was crafted as a star vehicle for Allu Arjun, allowing him to showcase his full potential as the iconic Pushpa. However, some critics have pointed out that director Sukumar’s focus on elevating Pushpa’s character left other roles, including Fahadh Faasil’s, underdeveloped.
In the first Pushpa movie, Fahadh’s introduction created a sense of anticipation for his character’s progression. But in the sequel, many fans and critics feel his role was inconsistent and underutilized. His 20-minute appearance in the first part seemed more impactful than his portrayal in Pushpa 2, where at times, his character felt more like a comedic figure than a strong adversary for Pushpa.
Fahadh’s Honest Take on His Role
Fahadh Faasil, known for his brilliant performances in Malayalam cinema, has made it clear that Pushpa didn’t add any significant value to his career. In a recent interview, he candidly expressed that the film wasn’t a game-changing opportunity for him, and he joined the project primarily to collaborate with director Sukumar.
He said, “I don’t think Pushpa has done anything to me. I am being very honest and I don’t want to hide it. I don’t think people expect magic from me in Pushpa. It’s pure collaboration out of love for Sukumar sir. My stuff is here (Malayalam), and I am doing my stuff here.”
A Strategic Career Move?
Fahadh’s statement hints that his involvement in Pushpa was more about the opportunity to work with some of the best talents in the industry, rather than a major career boost. It seems his decision to join the film was driven by his admiration for Sukumar and the chance to expand his professional circle.
Interestingly, Fahadh has kept a low profile when it comes to promotions for Pushpa 2, further suggesting that he didn’t view the role as a major career milestone.
Will Fahadh Return in Pushpa 3?
Now, the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Fahadh Faasil will return for the third installment of the Pushpa franchise. With his candid remarks about the film, fans left wondering if he’ll reprise his role or if his journey with the character has come to an end.
Final Thoughts
Fahadh Faasil’s honest take on his role in Pushpa 2 offers an interesting perspective on the film’s casting choices. While his role may not have been as significant as fans hoped, it’s clear that his collaboration with Sukumar was more about building relationships within the industry than making a career-defining statement.
