In the song, Rashmika is seen being lifted multiple times, a situation she found particularly challenging.
She revealed, “Most of the time, I felt like I was dancing on Allu Arjun sir. I have a phobia of being lifted, and I wasn’t very comfortable with it. It was a bit overwhelming thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’”
Despite her initial hesitation, Rashmika acknowledged that the ‘Peelings’ sequence was crucial to the film, and she chose to trust her director and co-actor. “I understood that it was necessary for the song and the film. I decided to go ahead with it, trusting my director and Allu Arjun sir,” she said.
When asked about the negative reviews regarding the choreography, Rashmika took a professional stance. She explained that as an actor, her role is to entertain and meet the expectations of her director. “If I start overthinking or isolating my roles, I would be typecasting myself. I’m here to do my job, and I work to hear the word ‘excellent’ from my director. That’s what matters to me,” she added.
Looking ahead, Rashmika has a busy year, with several exciting projects in the pipeline. This includes ‘The Girlfriend’, ‘Chhaava’, ‘Sikander’, and ‘Kubera’.
