Plot
Pushpa Raj (Allu Arjun) continues his rise in the world of red sandalwood smuggling while balancing his married life with Srivalli (Rashmika Mandanna). Pushpa is eager to expand his activities internationally and is unhappy with his family name. At the same time, his rival Shekhawat (Fahadh Faasil) plans to avenge his humiliation and Mangalam Srinu (Sunil) waits for an opportunity to win back the lost syndicate.

In a bold move to fulfill Srivalli’s wish, Pushpa looks for a photo with the Prime Minister (Aadukalam Naren). However, the CM refuses and humiliates Pushpa for being a smuggler. Undeterred, Pushpa instead takes a photo with MP Siddappa (Rao Ramesh), thereby announcing his intention to appoint Siddappa as the next Prime Minister. To finance this political gamble, Pushpa plans an international operation to transport a huge supply of red sandalwood. Will Pushpa succeed in his plans while avoiding Shekhawat’s traps? Can Mangalam Srinu win back his syndicate? These questions determine the rest of the story.
