‘The
whole
India
will
come
together
to
celebrate
one
film
and
that
film
is
our
film.’
“I
remember
the
first
scene
we
shot
in
Pushpa.
It
was
the
Srivalli
song,”
Rashmika
Mandanna
says
at
a
promotional
event
of
her
upcoming
biggie,
Pushpa:
The
Rule.
“I
am
pouring
milk
and
was
so
nervous
about
meeting
Allu
Arjun
sir
for
the
first
day.
How
do
I
react
to
sir?
He’s
been
a
superstar
for
such
a
long
time.
I
don’t
know
how
to
behave,
then
and
today,
standing
here
in
front
of
sir.
He’s
family,
he’s
home.
The
five-year
journey
has
been
so
different
and
emotional.
Today,
here
we
are
and
he’s
always
going
to
be
super
special,”
she
adds.
She
may
have
been
nervous
in
front
of
him
but
it
didn’t
show
at
all,
when
they
danced
to
the
film’s
brand
new
song,
Angaaron.
Watch
them
dance
here:
Rashmika
admits
that
a
lot
has
changed
for
her
since
she
came
to
Mumbai
in
2021
with
Pushpa.
“Whenever
I
came
for
a
film
shoot
to
Mumbai,
I
used
to
be
asked
just
one
question:
When
is
Pushpa
2
releasing?
Today,
with
all
of
my
heart,
confidence
and
excitement,
I
can
proudly
announce
that
we’re
coming
to
you
on
December
5.”
“Out
of
seven
years
of
my
journey
as
an
actor,
five
years
has
been
with
Pushpa,”
Rashmika
says.
“Pushpa
is
home.
And
now,
when
we’re
done
with
the
film,
I
don’t
know
how
to
react
to
it
because
I’m
very,
very
sad
that
it
has
ended.”
Allu
Arjun
greets
fans
in
Marathi
with,
“Namaskar,
kasa
kai
Mumbai.”
“I
would
like
to
thank
my
entire
crew,
my
unit,
Mumbai
is
the
media
hub
of
this
country,
so
when
you
address
something
in
Mumbai,
it
means
that
whole
nation
and
the
whole
world
is
watching,”
he
says.
“I
would
like
to
thank
my
entire
unit
and
their
support
for
me
from
the
COVID
times.
It
was
hard
to
shoot
for
400,
500
people
during
COVID
times.”
“In
the
last
four
years,
I
have
only
been
working
with
one
actress,
my
Srivalli,
Rashmika,”
Allu
Arjun
says.
“We’ve
become
almost
like
family.
I’m
so
comfortable
with
her.
I
want
to
take
two
minutes
and
thank
her
for
everything
that
she’s
done
for
this
film.
Her
support
is
immense.
There’s
no
way
this
film
is
complete
without
Srivalli’s
support.”
Allu
Arjun
considers
his
audience
as
God
and
says,
“We’ve
given
three
years
of
our
lives
to
give
you,
the
best
product
possible.
I
hope
it
touches
your
heart.
I
have
lost
my
voice.
I
just
need
to
dub
one
or
two
small
corrections
but
I
need
to
rest
tonight.
I
consider
the
audience
as
God
and
when
you
give
God,
there
is
no
limitation.
You
should
try
to
give
the
best
of
your
abilities
and
we
will
try
to
do
our
best.”
Pushpa
2
will
release
in
12,500
screens
worldwide
in
six
different
languages
on
December
5.
“The
whole
India
will
come
together
to
celebrate
one
film
and
that
film
is
our
film,”
Allu
Arjun
says.
“I
love
my
fans.
They
are
like
family.
They
fight
for
me.
They
stand
by
me.
They
celebrate
me.
I
will
make
you
all
proud.
If
this
film
becomes
a
big
hit,
I
will
dedicate
this
film
to
all
my
fans
around
the
world.”
he
adds.
Allu
Arjun
looks
back
at
the
five-year
Pushpa
journey.
Allu
Arjun
has
kept
his
beard
for
the
last
five
years
that
he
shot
for
this
film.
“I
was
waiting
for
the
film
to
get
over
so
I
can
shave!
My
daughter
doesn’t
even
come
to
me
because
I
have
a
beard.
I
haven’t
kissed
her
properly
in
the
last
three-four
years,”
he
says.
He
becomes
emotional
and
explains,
“I
think
Rashmika
finished
the
shoot
a
day
before
me
and
she
was
tearing
up.
I
kept
joking,
‘Why
are
you
crying,
why
are
you
tearing
up?'”
“She
said
in
seven
years
of
my
career,
almost
five
years
I
have
shot
for
this
film.
It’s
like
home.
I
said,
we
will
miss
you
too
and
all
that.
The
next
day,
when
I
finished
my
shot,
it
genuinely
got
very
heavy
for
me.
I
just
went
quiet
because
in
the
last
five
years,
I’ve
been
seeing
the
same
people,
the
same
faces.
I
want
this
film
to
be
a
hit
for
everybody
else,
not
just
for
me.”
