Amrutha Iyengar had only intended to perform one film in her career before returning to her studies in psychology. Destiny, on the other hand, had other plans. "First, I received an offer from director Suri that I couldn't refuse. Then there was Shivarjuna and Love Mocktail. Right now, I'm working on WindowSeat, Family Pack, and Badava Rascal, which will be released on December 24. Because my job was taking off, I decided to drop out of college and focus on what I could do best here "Amurtha informs us.

Amrutha believes that her patience has paid off. ""I get to witness three of my films premiering in the next few months after two lockdowns and a lengthy wait," Amrutha adds, adding, "Badava Rascal is really important to me" The film has a personal link for everyone participating in the process. The reception to the Udupi Hotel song was very encouraging. People who would associate me with Love Mocktail would go on to establish me in the hearts of the audience as the Badava Rascal heroine.”

Sangeetha, a politician's daughter, and the difficulties she confronts when she falls in love with a middle-class boy is played by the actor. "My character goes through a change, which also serves as the film's turning point. "I had to psychologically prepare for these episodes, and the crew had developed on a specific appearance for me that the fans liked," she recalls.
"I accepted this film but never inquired for information about my character," Amrutha says of being affiliated with her good friend and actor Dhananjay, who is also the producer of Badava Rascal. Because this was Dhananjay's debut production, I was certain that he would make a fantastic film. Apart from films, his career experience and what he has witnessed in life motivates me. Dhananjay is like an institution to me, and I learn something new from him every time we meet.
I'm grateful for the opportunity he gave to me to work with him on two projects."
Amrutha also spoke a few things about Shankar, a newbie director. "Director Shankar crafted lines that were authentic and truthful," she recalls.
Amrutha recalls the Badava Rascal filming, saying that the Srinagara district of Bengaluru essentially became a film city for the team. "Every day, we'd have conversations with local car drivers, cab drivers, and street sellers about their experiences, and for me, it was the finest part of Badava Rascal," she recalls.
Nagabhushan and Poornachandra Mysore also star in Badava Rascal. The film's soundtrack is composed by Vasuki Vaibhav.
