Half of Pushpa 2 Was Made by the Two of Them: Sukumar

Director Sukumar has once again shown his unique ability to credit those who work with him. During the recent Pushpa 2: The Rule press meet, Sukumar revealed that two of his assistants, Sriman and Madhu, played significant roles in shaping the film.

Sukumar stated that Sriman directed half the film, handling critical sequences like the childhood episodes and the truck fight. He even supervised the second unit. Sukumar said the direction credits should ideally be shared between him and Sriman, a rare acknowledgment in the film industry. This public recognition of Sriman’s contributions surprised the media.

Sukumar didn’t stop there. He praised another assistant, Madhu, who contributed immensely to the creative process. From his ideas, like the "Rappa Rappa" sequence, to his sharp editing skills, Madhu’s impact was deeply felt. Sukumar humorously mentioned his “anger” at Madhu’s absence from the event, showcasing his affection for his team.
