Following Thamma’s theatrical release on Tuesday, the Pushpa actress reflected on her journey with the project. She wrote, “Thamma… Ahh, where do I even begin… From the very first call sheet to the final cut, this film has been more than just work — it’s been a journey of heart, grit, laughter, bruises, mornings we didn’t want to wake up for, and nights we didn’t want to end (sic).”
Rashmika also thanked director Aditya Sarpotdar for his faith in her, saying, “To our incredible director, @aditya_a_sarpotdar sir, my heart is full of respect for you. You trusted me, you pushed me, and you saw what this film could be — and helped us get there.”
