Rashmika to join sets of 'Pushpa: The Rule' next month

Actress Rashmika Mandanna has given an update on the sequel of the 2021 blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise'. The actress shared that while 'The Boys' (insert the soundtrack of 'Bones' as per the Insta reel ritual) Allu Arjun and other actors have started the shoot of the film, she will join the shoot next month.

She said, "The boys have started shooting, and I'll be joining the shoot next month, so I'm really excited! And, the things that I'm hearing from the second half is (made the explosion sound). Really mind blown about how (director) Sukumar sir is coming up with these things, because if you watch the first half, you just feel like that is the story itself."

She further mentioned while talking on FC Front Row, "But the second part is something much more than the first part and you're like "wow, now that's something fabulous!"

"At the same time, I think all of us actors from Pushpa 1 have seen our work in the first half, and now we're much more clearer on what kind of a world we're living in. So I think all our performances are going to change. I think the performances are going to get more intense in the second half. And yeah guys, it's going to be amazing." Meanwhile, her 'Mission Majnu' co-actor Sidharth Malhotra broke silence on the similarities being drawn between 'Mission Majnu' and the 2018 film 'Raazi'.

He said, "I think it's never a bad thing when people are trying to use a reference point for a film, especially comparing it to a good film. Yes, the elements on the outer periphery of seeing a trailer might look similar, it is in the same decade, similar elements." "But, I think the experience is completely different. It's only fair to speak to people once they see the film, the arcs...as I said, we're only trying to give the elements which you need to decide to click, in today's day and age, or to get engaged."
