Rashmika Reflects on Landing the Role

The actress revealed her initial surprise when director Laxman Utekar offered her the role. “I was completely shocked. How did Laxman sir even imagine me as Yesubai? I decided to trust his vision wholeheartedly. There’s no direct reference to these characters, just their incredible story. Their legacy is majestic and deeply impactful. To portray someone like Yesubai, you simply surrender to the director’s guidance.”

She added, “Preparation involved intensive rehearsals, particularly with language. It required breaking down personal barriers and trusting the team fully. I told Laxman sir, ‘I’m all in. Whatever you need, I’ll deliver.’”
