Sukumar seems to have taken this criticism seriously and has portrayed women in a much better way in the sequel, Pushpa 2 — at least, that’s what the trailer suggests.
In the trailer, Pushpa says, “I will show how a man can win the world by following his wife’s words.” In one scene, Allu Arjun rubs Rashmika’s feet in his beard suggesting the ‘Thaggede le’ dialogue.
