‘Wanted to justify Allu Arjun’s efforts’
In an interview with ETimes, Shreyas shared that there were no expectations the first time around, but after all the rage, there was some pressure. He said, “Most of my job was done by Allu Arjun. I just had to make sure that I justified the efforts he put up on screen. I've been getting some calls and messages after the press screening. I'm happy and humbled that my efforts have gone in the right direction and everyone is liking it."

Shreyas Talpade has never met Allu Arjun
Shreyas opened up on the hard work that went into his dubbing sessions for the sequel. He said, “This time, I did 14 sessions of two hours each. We worked on the minutest of the details. If I was not happy with a scene I'd do it again. There were times when I felt that my voice was not up to the mark so I stopped. I didn't want to compromise on the job.”
He also made a startling revelation of never meeting Allu Arjun to date. “Also, this time Pushpa is either drinking or chewing tobacco or even smoking at times. So, to match all of that was difficult. I put cotton in my mouth while dubbing those lines. I have never met Allu Arjun to date. We have never spoken. So, I don't know what was his feedback on this one. Last time, I heard him say very good things in the press about the dub,” added Shreyas.
The film, which continues the saga of Pushpa Raj's rise amid a world of crime, is expected to dominate the box office, fueled by its strong performances, gripping action sequences, and massive fan base. With the hype surrounding the film reaching new heights, Pushpa 2: The Rule is already being hailed as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
