Manushi also quipped about her Telugu debut, “I had a wonderful time working in the Telugu film industry. Each project of mine has been very different, whether it was Hindi or Telugu industry. Everyone works like a family. They are very accepting and accommodating and they understand the fact that you don’t speak the language,” she stated.

It came as a challenge but everyone on the set was very supportive. I would love to do more films down South. They do have a different way of working but they make you feel home.”
