Rashmika Mandanna Calls Srivalli Life-Changing Role

Rashmika Mandanna, popularly known as the "National Crush," said that playing Srivalli in Pushpa and Yesubai in Chaava had a strong impact on her career. She shared that both characters helped her grow as an actress. They gave her confidence and made her feel more secure in her acting journey.

After Pushpa, Rashmika�s popularity skyrocketed. Though some of her Hindi films didn�t do well, movies like Pushpa, Pushpa 2, and Animal with Ranbir Kapoor kept her in the spotlight. However, she recently faced criticism for her role in Animal. Responding to that, Rashmika said that people shouldn�t take movies so seriously, as no one is forced to watch them. But this statement didn�t go well with many netizens. They called her out for promoting films heavily before release, then saying such things after the movie's success.

Rashmika�s latest film Kubera didn�t meet her expectations. Even though she took up the role thinking it would be something different, she was not happy with how her character turned out. A solo song featuring her was also removed from the film, which left her disappointed. Now, all her hopes are on her next film The Girlfriend. She also believes that her upcoming Hindi film Thama, which has a supernatural theme, will take her acting career to the next level.

Thama is being directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Madock Films, so the expectations are high. Rashmika is known for giving her best in every role she takes. While not every movie becomes a hit, she is still considered lucky to have commercial successes like Pushpa 2, Animal, and Chaava in her filmography.
