Taking to Instagram Stories on Tuesday night, Rashmika wrote that the last day of the shoot - on Monday - was overwhelming for her. "24th evening after an entire day of shoot we took a flight to Chennai and we had such a lovely event in Chennai. Flew back the same night back to Hyderabad. I went home and slept for about 4 or 5 hours. Woke up rushed to shoot for my last day of Pushpa. :(“

The actor added that in her 8-year career, she has been associated with the two Pushpa films for 5 years. “Out of the 7/8 years, the Last 5 years being on this set almost made this set my home in the industry, and finally, it was my last day."

She added that a lot of work was left before the film hits the screens next week, but also hinted at Pushpa 3. "Of course there's still so much work left and apparently a part 3 but it felt different.. it felt overwhelming.. it felt like it was ending.. some sort of sadness that even I didn't understand, and suddenly all the emotions came together, and the days of extreme hard work came rushing back to me.. I was feeling tired, exhausted but at the same time so grateful," wrote Rashmika.
