Rashmika Mandanna, who is enjoying the success of her latest film Pushpa, is a renowned actor in the Kannada and Telugu film industry. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that she has taken over the country with her charm and talent. The Kirik Party actor made her mark in the industry in no time and has earned herself the title of ‘National Crush.’
In 2016, Rashmika made her acting debut in the Kannada film Kirik Party. After that, the actress has appeared in several successful commercial films like Anjani Putra, Chalo, Geetha Govindam, Yajamana, Sarileru Neekevvaru, Bheeshma, and Pogaru.
With her fresh off-the-blockbuster success of Pushpa, her character Srivalli became a household name and cemented her position as an audience favourite. She is one of the few actors who has already signed three Bollywood films, even before her official debut in the Hindi film industry.
