Rashmika Mandanna’s performance as ‘Srivalli’ in ‘Pushpa-The Rise’ opposite Allu Arjun catapulted her to stardom overnight, and she has been unstoppable since. Her famous ‘Saami Saami’ step is still the most popular on social media. Because of her outstanding performance in Pushpa, the actress has been cast in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal,’ alongside Ranbir Kapoor.
Rashmika Mandana on ‘Animal’
Rashmika said of her role in the film alongside Ranbir Kapoor, ” “The producers of ‘Animal’ approached me after seeing my performance in ‘Pushpa.’ I didn’t hesitate to say yes to the film because I was confident that the audience would get to see a different side of me.”
Pushpa, Allu Arjun, and Rashmika’s surprise hit in 2021 gave a new impetus to pan-India films made in Tollywood. In the film, the actress played the role of a rural girl convincingly. At the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022 ceremony, the blockbuster hit was named ‘Film Of The Year.’
