Rashmika Mandanna Pens an Emotional Note

Rashmika Mandanna, Srivalli from Pushpa shared a heartfelt note and unseen photos from the sets of Pushpa and its sequel. With Pushpa 2 releasing tomorrow, Rashmika opened up about her overwhelming emotions and deep connection to the film.

She wrote, “Pushpa 2 is releasing tomorrow and right now I am overwhelmed with emotions. It’s fascinating to see myself be so affected and so personally connected with this team and for a film… never before have I ever let a film influence my emotions, and today on the eve of the release, I am feeling emotions I’ve never felt for a film before.”

Rashmika recalled her journey, saying, “Pushpa started in 2021, but for me, it started waaaay before that in COVID times. I remember the team coming to my house to train me for the Chittoor slang to walking on the sets of Pushpa on day one. From the release of Pushpa 1 to the long shooting days of Pushpa 2, every day for the last 5 years has been about Pushpa.”

She expressed gratitude towards director Sukumar, “Sukku sir… from the point of not knowing how to talk to him to the point where I am so emotionally connected to him.” She also praised Allu Arjun, “From being scared to talk to sir to searching for him in our crowded set to ask if the shot was okay.”
Acknowledging the team, she added, “Team Pushpa!! I love you! I love how hard we’ve worked, and I love what we’ve created today. Everyone works hard, but success comes because of the people you surround yourself with. Pushpa is the perfect example of that.”
