In this iconic scene, Allu Arjun honoured Goddess Gangamma Thalli by dressing up in a saree, makeup, and heavy jewellery. Ganesh revealed that filming the Jathra song was an extremely challenging task, with the team working continuously for 29 days. 

Despite the gruelling schedule, Allu Arjun's dedication never wavered. He sustained injuries every 5-10 days, including broken bones and neck injuries, but he never gave up. Instead, he continued to perform with unwavering enthusiasm and passion. “Every 5-10 days, he would injure himself, sometimes breaking his foot or suffering neck injuries, but he never gave up," Ganesh said.

Further, Ganesh credited Allu Arjun's remarkable dedication to his role, stating that he had devoted five years to both Pushpa films. The actor's willingness to push through physical pain and exhaustion is a testament to his unwavering commitment to his craft.
