Rashmika Mandanna, star of the blockbuster ‘Pushpa’, sustained injuries during a fitness session at a gym, temporarily halting the shooting schedules for three major films.
The 28-year-old actress, who recently gained acclaim for her roles in ‘Pushpa’ and ‘Animal’, was training when the mishap occurred, according to Indian media reports.
Mandanna’s upcoming projects include ‘Sikandar’ with Salman Khan and ‘Chhava’ alongside Vicky Kaushal. Both productions, along with another undisclosed project, have been delayed as a result of her injury.
People close to Mandanna were reported to have said that she is recuperating and feeling better. They added that doctors have advised her to take a short break to ensure a full recovery before resuming her demanding work commitments.
The makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule have announced the release of a reloaded version, which will include an additional 20 minutes of footage. The extended version will be available in cinemas from January 11, 2025.
Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun in the lead role, has already made a significant impact at the box office, surpassing Baahubali 2 to become the highest-grossing Indian film.
The addition of 20 minutes of new content aims to build on the film’s ongoing success and provide fans with more of the action-packed storyline.
In a social media post on January 7, Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind the film, confirmed the update.
