Rashmika Mandanna BREAKS SILENCES on Pushpa 2: The Rule song ‘Peelings’ choreography: “The second we saw the rehearsal video, I was like, ‘What in the world is going on?’”

Rashmika Mandanna, the female lead in Pushpa 2: The Rule, has addressed the controversy surrounding the song ‘Peelings’, which faced backlash over its choreography. Speaking with Galatta Plus, the actress admitted she was initially uncomfortable performing the moves due to her fear of being lifted.

“‘Peelings’ was shot a couple of days before its release. We finished shooting for that song in five days,” Rashmika revealed. Reflecting on her first reaction to the choreography, she said, “It came as a surprise because the second we saw the rehearsal video, I was like, ‘What in the world is going on?’ Majority of the time, I thought I was dancing on Allu Arjun sir.”

Rashmika shared that her fear of being lifted added to the challenge of performing the song. “I wasn’t very comfortable with people lifting me, and here is the song where I am only being lifted. I had this thing of ‘how am I going to do this?’ But I recently realised that if I make up my mind, I fully go and surrender to my director and co-actor. Once you trust the man, it becomes fun,” she said.

Addressing Skepticism and Self-Doubt

When asked about skepticism regarding the song, Rashmika shared her mindset as an actor. “I don’t give myself room to doubt because it would be impossible to be an actor if I doubted myself. As an actor, I know I am here to entertain others and please my director. This is my bread and butter, and this is what I am here to do,” she explained.

She further elaborated on her approach to roles, saying, “I like to challenge myself and choose diverse roles, whether it’s Animal, Chhava, or Sikandar. People can dislike it, but not everything is everybody’s cup of tea.”

While Pushpa 2: The Rule has been a box office juggernaut, crossing the Rs 1500 crores mark, it has not been free from challenges. Legal trouble arose for the film’s lead, Allu Arjun, after a stampede during its premiere outside Sandhya Theatre tragically claimed a woman’s life.
