→Trivia
- The film's title was originally 'Pushpa: The Rule', but it was changed to 'Pushpa: The Rise' to better fit the story's first part.
- Allu Arjun's character Pushpa Raj was inspired by real-life red sandalwood smugglers from the Seshachalam forests of Andhra Pradesh.
- The iconic 'Thaggedele' dialogue and hand gesture were improvised by Allu Arjun during filming and became a nationwide trend.
- Sukumar wrote the role of Srivalli specifically for Rashmika Mandanna after being impressed by her previous performances.
- The film was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil, with Allu Arjun dubbing his own lines in both languages.
- Despite being set in Andhra Pradesh, many forest scenes were actually filmed in the Maredumilli and Lambasingi regions of Telangana.
- The movie's background score uses folk instruments like the Dappu and Thappeta to create a rustic, earthy atmosphere.
