We were just shooting a massive song sequence and when I will go back, I will be shooting another song.”

Reflecting on reuniting with the cast and crew, Mandanna shared her excitement, emphasising how the bond formed during the first film makes returning for the sequel feel like coming home. She enthused, “It starts feeling like home. When you finish one film and towards the end of the film get really connected with the cast and crew. Then, when you have the part 2 coming, you’re like, ‘Yayy’.”

As for her character’s development in Pushpa 2, Mandanna hinted at intriguing twists and turns, revealing, “My role in Pushpa 2 is that now she has become the wife and with becoming the wife of Pushpa, there are still some responsibilities to carry. In Pushpa 2, there is a lot more drama and bigger conflicts that we are facing as characters. It’s going to be a lot more masala in part 2.”

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa is the story of a daily labourer’s ascent into the underworld of redwood smuggling. The film is the next big venture in Telugu cinema, and it is expected to be released this year.
