The 3-minute-20-second song Gango Renuka Thalli features music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, lyrics by Chandrabose, and vocals by Mahalingam. The video starts with Rashmika’s character Srivalli being fawned over by other women present at the festival. Looking around for her husband Pushpa, she sees him dressed in a blue saree with body paint, honouring Goddess Gangamma Thalli. He is joined by other dancers dressed in jathara outfits, and he even dances on coal, only stopping when his wife stops him.

Jathara sequence shot on ₹60 crore

While the video was released without context, the song arrives at a key juncture in the film when Pushpa receives good news but is feeling vulnerable about it. The sequence is followed by the song Sooseki and a fight scene. The whole scene required numerous extras, including traditional folk performers. It took 30 days to wrap the scene, and Arjun even developed severe back pain and had to take a break from shooting due to his androgynous look. The actor had to wear a blue pattu saree, jhumkas, ghungroo, bangles, a nose pin and other jewellery in the scene.
