Talking about his experience, Shreyas said, “This time the character has more swag. So, the swag had to be maintained. In the first part, he was rising. Now he is confident. This is his rule, and that rule had to be seen. You can see his body language, but the voice had to match that. The whole fact that “I’m ruling” had to come in the right manner.”
He further added, “I’m glad that as an artist I got to add some value to the film. Also, this time Pushpa is either drinking or chewing tobacco or even smoking at times. So, to match all of that was difficult. I put cotton in my mouth while dubbing those lines.”
