reuniting
Nandamuri

made

Meanwhile,
Samyukta,
during
a
conversation
with
123Telugu,
got
candid
about
her
role
in
Akhanda
2
and
stated,
“It
will
be
extremely
stylish.
My
role
becomes
very
significant
in
a
key
sequence.
I
was
told
that
I
should
perform
a
song,
which
made
me
nervous.
I
haven’t
done
such
a
mass
song
earlier.
I
decided
to
give
my
best,
but
my
knees
didn’t
cooperate.
Later,
I
underwent
physiotherapy.
We
must
entertain
the
audience.
That’s
the
final
goal
of
an
artist”.
