Pushpa 2: The Rule has emerged as the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema with its spree of breaking records. On its 18th day, the movie's total collection is reportedly Rs 1052.5 crore (nett). However, amid its winning streak at the box office, controversies have started surrounding the flick. While on one hand, the controversies surrounding Allu Arjun following the tragic stampede incident at Sandhya Theatre refuse to die down, a section of the audience has raised objections against Rashmika Mandanna for her controversial steps in the song Peelings. Now, Rashoo has opened up about her reaction when she was shown the dance steps during rehearsals.
During her recent interview with Galatta Plus, the Goodbye actress disclosed her initial reaction to the 'suggestive dance moves' for Peelings. Rashoo said that the choreography in the rehearsal video left her stunned.
Rashoo 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.'”

Talking about filming the song, Rashoo said it was a challenging experience for her. Further, she also revealed her phobia of being lifted up.
The Animal actress said, “I have a phobia of being lifted, and here is the song where I am only being lifted. I wasn’t very comfortable initially."
However, despite her reservations, Rashmika's trust in Sukumar and Allu Arjun helped her navigate the experience. She overcame the discomfort by emphasizing the importance of teamwork.
Reacting to the public response to the song and her bold role as Srivalli, Rashoo said, People can dislike it, but not everything is everybody’s cup of tea. I like to challenge myself and choose diverse roles, whether it’s Animal, Chhaava, or Sikandar. I can do everything from running around trees to playing Srivalli in Pushpa."
