Rashmika-Anushka Clash on Sept 5 Creates Massive Hype Online

This September 5, Tollywood is in for an interesting face-off. Anushka Shetty and Rashmika Mandanna, two actresses with very different journeys, are set to clash at the box office with their female-led films. It’s not often that two such projects land on the same day, and fans are already picking sides online.

Anushka’s film Ghaati, directed by Krish, is said to be a dark, intense drama with a raw setup. The posters already gave off a violent and rustic vibe, and that has definitely raised expectations. The film was supposed to be released in April, but got delayed. Now, the new date is set for September 5, and all eyes are on how it performs.

On the other hand, Rashmika’s film The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran, is also eyeing the same release date. It’s her first full-fledged female lead role, but the buzz around it hasn’t picked up much yet. Most of the attention is simply because Rashmika is in it, not much is known about the film itself. That’s where comparisons with Anushka’s film are starting.

The talk now is whether Rashmika’s growing popularity can match Anushka’s strong hold over the audience, especially the youth. Ghaati has weight behind it, both in terms of content and the team behind it. The Girlfriend is still a bit of a mystery. If both films do release on the same day, it’s going to be a real test of star power, content, and crowd pull.
