Her role was very well received by one and all.

Pawan Kalyan starrer Agnyaathavaasi, despite a great opening, isn’t doing well at the box office.

Khushbu plays Pawan Kalyan’s step mother in Agnyaathavaasi.

Talking to Deccan Chronicle, Khushbu opened up about her role in the Trivikram directed film. “After 10 years to do a film in Telugu it had to be a special one. Agnyaathavaasi is that special one. The entire setup was very appealing and eventually rewarding. Pawan and the crew treated me like a member of their family. Trivikram had offered me films earlier. But I was not very keen then as I did not like the roles. This time he came to me and said, ‘Ma’am, you cannot say no to this.’ And I didn’t say no. How could I? He made an offer I couldn’t resist.”
