Rashmika Mandanna, who delivered an impactful performance as Srivalli in the recently released Pushpa 2: The Rule, heaped praises on her co-star Allu Arjun. In particular, Rashmika spoke extensively about the jatara sequence in the film in which Allu Arjun donned a saree and full-fledged make-up for an entire song and stunt sequences that spanned for more than 20 minutes.

Netizens say Rashmika Mandanna has some work to do

Rashmika's comments triggered a section of the audience who asked her to do some homework.
