Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise not only dominated the box office but also clinched two National Awards. In a recent interview, Rashmika opened up about the highly anticipated sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, she said, “I can promise you that Pushpa 2 is going to be so much bigger. We gave some madness in the first film, in part 2, we know we have a responsibility because people have so much expectation from the film. We are constantly and consciously trying to deliver that. I just shot for a song for Pushpa 2 and I was just like, ‘How are you guys thinking about this?’ Everyone is so driven to make a good film. All of us have gone all out and are enjoying the process. It’s a story that has no end, you can lead it any which way. It is fun.”
When asked if she feels the pressure to live up to the expectation of the first film, Rashmika Mandanna said, “There is no pressure. When I see the first film, I feel I need to buckle up. But in Pushpa 2, my character is a lot thought about and better. I am really excited but not nervous. I, as an actor, have grown over the last two years that I am able to deliver better. That gives confidence to me.”
Directed by Sukumar of Rangasthalam fame, Pushpa 2: The Rule also stars Fahadh Faasil, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, and Sunil, with music composed by Devi Sri Prasad. The first installment, released in December 2021, garnered immense success and became a pan-India hit.
