Ashika Ranganath Goes Pan-India?

Kannada actress Ashika Ranganath is on a roll! Following her recent casting in the Telugu film "Naa Saami Rangaa" alongside Akkineni Nagarjuna and a role in Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara," rumors are swirling that she's landed a pan-India project.

The buzz suggests Ashika has secured a role in "Sardaar 2," the sequel to the highly successful Tamil film "Sardaar" starring Karthi and Raashi Khanna. The original film was a massive hit, grossing over ₹100 crore worldwide and marking Karthi's highest-grossing venture. This sequel is reportedly envisioned as a pan-India extravaganza, aiming to captivate audiences across the country. Whispers also hint at the inclusion of a renowned actor as the film's antagonist. Pre-production for "Sardaar 2" is underway, with filming expected to commence soon.

Directed by P.S. Mithran, known for his work on films like "Irumbu Thirai" and "Hero," "Sardaar 2" marks his fourth directorial venture. While previous reports suggested a potential collaboration between Mithran and Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi, those plans seem to have fallen through.

The success of "Sardaar 2" will heavily depend on Mithran's direction and the film's overall execution. However, if everything falls into place, the pan-India appeal and Ashika's growing popularity could propel the film towards another ₹100 crore milestone at the box office.
