The latest viral topic on social media is that Rashmika Mandanna might be playing a key role in the upcoming film directed by Atlee and starring Allu Arjun. What has fans even more excited is the rumour that she will be seen in a negative-shaded character—something completely new for her. Reports say a look test was already held in Los Angeles, hinting that she is almost confirmed for the role.
Rashmika Mandanna, who started her career with Kirik Party, made a strong debut in Telugu cinema with Chalo. With the success of Geetha Govindam, she quickly rose to stardom, acting alongside top heroes and becoming one of South India’s most popular actresses. She is now known as the ‘National Crush’ and has acted in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi films.
Rashmika has always made smart choices in her career. From the beginning, she picked roles that gave her both visibility and variety. She managed to impress audiences not just with glamour and dance but also through performance-driven characters. Her recent films like Pushpa, Animal, and Chhava were major box office hits and proved her wide appeal.
Now, by possibly taking on a negative role, Rashmika is following the path once taken by legendary actresses like Soundarya, Meena, and Ramya Krishnan, who played strong and complex roles. If confirmed, this could mark a new turning point in her career.
At present, Rashmika is working on several projects, including female-orientated films. While there is no official statement yet about Rashmika Mandanna enrolling in the Atlee-Allu Arjun project, fans believe this could be one of her boldest moves yet—and one that may take her career to the next level.
