Rashmika Gets Sridevi Tag From Nagarjuna!

The Kuberaa success meet turned into a headline fest in Hyderabad, not just for its celebration but for the sparks flying between the stars on stage. With Megastar Chiranjeevi gracing the event as the chief guest, all eyes were on the stellar cast and their off-script moments. But it was Akkineni Nagarjuna who set the stage ablaze, not with box office talk, but with a compliment that left Rashmika Mandanna floored.

Nagarjuna, who earned praise for his CBI officer role in the film, used his time at the mic to first settle the chatter around his “ownership” remarks. Reiterating that Kuberaa is entirely Sekhar Kammula’s creation, Nag thanked the filmmaker for giving him a role with depth. Then, shifting gears, he poured appreciation on the entire technical crew for delivering a sleek product with a sharp message.

But the real spark flew when he turned to Rashmika. With a calm smile, Nag said her performance reminded him of none other than Sridevi in Kshanak Kshanam a comparison that immediately stunned the crowd. He said certain frames brought back that exact magic and declared, to everyone’s surprise, that Rashmika isn’t just the “national crush” she’s his crush too.

Rashmika couldn’t hide her shock or the smile that followed. The room burst into laughter and applause, while she stood, clearly touched by the weight of the comparison. At that moment, Kuberaa’s celebrations weren’t just about cinema they were about legacy, charm, and unexpected bonds that outshine even the numbers.
