During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Rashmika revealed that both her directors, Sukumar and Sandeep Reddy Vanga are shown to showcase women in the strong limelight. Pushpa 2: The Rule did smash the box office numbers, and the actress credits Sukumar for showing off Srivalli beautifully. However, the actress noted that both Sukumar and Sandeep have respect for women and do not see them as mere creatures. In her words:
“What I have seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Sukumar sir is their utmost respect towards a woman. They don’t look at women as creatures who need help, they think that women are powerful. It comes through their craft, you see Geetanjali or Srivalli, both of these characters know that Ranvijay or Pushpa are killing 200 people out there, but still, they have the guts to stand up against them when they make a mistake.”
Rashmika added that voicing that up takes courage, Vanga and Sukumar think that a woman standing up against a man who can kill 200 people is possible because of their respect towards women.
