In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rashmika was asked about a film that was a turning point in her career. She said, “First is Kirik Party, which is my debut Kannada film, next is Geeta Govindam which got so many eyes on me as a performer and after that is Pushpa. It changed the perception of me as an actor across the country.”

Further talking about Pushpa: The Rise’s success, Rashmika continued, “We knew that we had made a good film. We can never foresee the outcome of a film. We knew the content was good and it was going to be out there. But we knew that it was going to be positive. And then the outcome was just like ‘wow.’”
