Anushka Shetty’s much-awaited Telugu action-crime drama Ghaati is just days away from its theatrical release on 5th September. The film has already generated significant buzz, with fans eager to see the actress in a powerful and rustic role. While promoting the film, Anushka has largely avoided in-person interviews but recently connected with the media and her fans through a telephonic interaction. During this conversation, she not only spoke about Ghaati and her character but also expressed her dream of seeing her role in a crossover with Allu Arjun’s iconic Pushpa character, sparking excitement among audiences.
Speaking to Gulte, Anushka Shetty shared, “I really hope it happens. Someone please tell this to Sukumar sir. It would be exciting to see a crossover between Allu Arjun’s Pushpa and Ghaati.” The Baahubali star further added that if such a project were ever made, she would love to see director Sukumar helm it. She said, “Bringing two characters from raw and rustic dramas together would be special. Hoping Sukumar garu comes up with something interesting. You know how superheroes do crossovers, we could also do this.”
Meanwhile, this wish for a crossover is not entirely far-fetched, given that Anushka and Allu Arjun have shared screen space before. The duo starred together in Vedam (2010), directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, and later reunited in Rudhramadevi (2015). During the same interaction, Anushka also spoke about her bond with her Baahubali co-star, Prabhas. Their on-screen pairing as Devasena and Amarendra Baahubali remains one of the most iconic in Indian cinema. When asked about the possibility of working with him again, she responded, “I genuinely wish to work with Prabhas once again. However, what I feel is that after Baahubali, it has to be something equally effective or something new. If both Prabhas and I like it, we will do it together.”
