On April 5, fans celebrated as actor Rashmika Mandanna marked another year. Commemorating the occasion, the creators of “Pushpa: The Rule” unveiled a fresh poster featuring her from the highly anticipated film. Following the poster’s release, enthusiasts drew comparisons between her still and Mahesh Babu in “Guntur Kaaram.” Rashmika sported a pattu saree adorned with gold jewelry, her hair elegantly tied back as she peered through her fingers with an intense gaze.

Some admirers took to social media to craft a collage juxtaposing Rashmika’s serious expression with Mahesh Babu’s more playful one from “Guntur Kaaram.” When a fan shared this collage, extending birthday wishes “on behalf of all Mahesh fans,” Rashmika responded with enthusiasm, expressing her fondness for the collage.
Rashmika’s journey in Tollywood commenced with the 2018 hit “Chalo,” followed by notable appearances in “Geetha Govindam,” “Devadas,” and “Dear Comrade.” However, it was her role in the 2020 blockbuster “Sarileru Neekevvaru” opposite Mahesh Babu that catapulted her to mainstream fame, despite the criticism her character received for being trivial. This breakthrough paved the way for her involvement in projects like “Pushpa: The Rise” and “Varisu.” Additionally, she starred in Badshah’s music video “Top Tucker” in 2021.
Looking ahead, Rashmika has an exciting lineup of projects. Apart from “Pushpa: The Rule,” she will soon grace the screens in a Telugu film titled “The Girlfriend,” helmed by Rahul Ravindran. The makers unveiled her first-look from the movie on her birthday. She is also set to star in the bilingual film “Rainbow,” directed by Shantharuban, and the Hindi film “Chaava,” directed by Yesubai Bhonsale, alongside Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna, and Pradeep Rawat.
