As the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule nears, the cast and crew are actively promoting the film. On Tuesday, Rashmika Mandanna shared a heartfelt note on her Instagram stories, reflecting on the end of filming for the movie on November 25, just 10 days before its release. Beginning with "Dear Diary," she expressed how overwhelming the day was for her, marking the conclusion of a five-year journey on set. However, what particularly caught the attention of fans was her subtle hint about a third film in the Pushpa franchise. "Ok I'll explain," she said before elaborating further.
Rashmika Mandanna began her emotional post by recalling how the day started like any other on set. However, once filming wrapped, it struck her that, out of the "7/8 years" of her career, she had spent the last five working on Pushpa, to the point where the set had become like a second home. "Out of the 7/8 years, last 5 years being on this set almost made this set my home in the industry and finally it was my last day," she shared. She continued, "It felt different... It felt overwhelming... it felt like it was ending, some sort of sadness that even I didn't understand and suddenly all the emotions came together and the days of extreme hard work came rushing back to me and... I was feeling tired, exhausted, but at the same time so grateful."
The standout moment in Rashmika Mandanna's note came when she revealed, "Of course there's still so much work left and apparently there's a part 3," offering a major hint about the future of the hugely successful Pushpa franchise.
Rashmika Mandanna also expressed her gratitude to Allu Arjun, director Sukumar, and everyone involved in the making of the two Pushpa films.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun shared his own sentiments about completing the shoot for Pushpa 2. Posting a picture from the set, the actor wrote, "LAST DAY LAST SHOT OF PUSHPA. 5 years JOURNEY of PUSHPA completed. What a journey."
