Jagadeesh Bandari starts shooting for Pushpa The Rule.The sets of "Pushpa: The Rule" witnessed a blend of relief and controversy as actor Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari made a comeback to filming. Recently granted bail after his arrest in December 2023 for alleged abetment of suicide, Bandari resumes his significant role as Kesava, Pushpa's right-hand man.
His return signifies a crucial juncture for the production, which experienced delays in shooting during his absence. However, it also sparks conversations regarding the ethical considerations of an actor continuing work in a film while facing serious legal charges. While the bail permits Bandari to participate in the film, the accusations against him remain unresolved.
Currently, the actor is actively involved in shooting the Gangamma Jaathara sequence in Hyderabad, with plans for the production to move to other locations soon. Reports suggest that the production house of "Pushpa 2" played a role in providing legal support for Jagadeesh, facilitating his release from jail. This move was crucial as a substantial part of the film requires his presence alongside the leading man, Allu Arjun.
As shooting progresses smoothly with Jagadeesh's return, potential challenges may arise if other parties choose to contest his bail in court. The situation adds complexity to the film's production, emphasizing the delicate balance between legal matters and the practicalities of filmmaking. The coming days will likely shed light on how this interplay of legal and cinematic aspects unfolds on the sets of "Pushpa: The Rule."
