On Friday (March 5), the makers celebrated the birthday of their lead star, Rashmika Mandanna by releasing the first poster of her character Srivalli from Pushpa part 2.

In the poster, Rashmika as Srivalli is looking fierce. She's wearing a green silk saree and is decked up with gold jewellery. Rashmika's expression in the poster is stern and ferocious, hinting at the drastic change in the character that the audience might see in part 2, unlike the sweet and joyous Srivalli we saw in the first part.

Talking about her role in part 2 of the movie, the actress said during an interview with Pinkvilla, ''My role in Pushpa 2 is that now she has become the wife and with becoming the wife of Pushpa, there are still some responsibilities to carry. In Pushpa 2, there is a lot more drama and bigger conflicts that we are facing as characters. It’s going to be a lot more masala in part 2.”
