Fahadh Faasil's character goes on a downturn in 'Pushpa 2'. The actor had little screen time in the first part, as his character entered the screen only in the last thirty minutes. So much fire and fury was expected from him in the second part. Barring three scenes, FaFa's scenes lack the zing in 'Pushpa 2'.
A theory being floated by Allu Arjun's haters is that the hero forced director Sukumar to underwrite FaFa's character so that he gets to shine throughout the movie at the expense of FaFa. "Bunny wanted to steal the show completely. That's why the story and the antagonist were repressed," a movie buff alleged on social media.
The theory is harsh on both Bunny and Sukumar. The director wanted to turn FaFa's Shekawat into a madman to justify his irrational tendencies. He commits hara-kiri when he hastily claims that he had successfully seized tonnes of red sanders. To justify his disposition, Shekawat was turned into a joker deliberately. Why should Bunny be wronged for this choice which Sukumar made, in all probability?
An old interview of Fahadh Faasil has been floated to suggest that he has always been unhappy about the 'Pushpa' movies. “I don’t think Pushpa did anything for me. I told Sukumar sir that. I don’t have to hide it. I have to be honest. People expect magic from me after Pushpa. It’s pure collaboration and love for Sukumar Sir. My stuff is in Malayalam cinema," the Mollywood actor said last year.
