By: Shanaz B Syed | 6 Feb 2026 2:07 PM ISTAfter starring in back-to-back hit movies like Thamma and Pushpa 2, National Crush Rashmika Mandanna has surely made it pretty big in almost all the big circuits of cinema. At the same time, she won praise for her acting prowess in movies like The Girlfriend. Guess what, without worrying about all this fame, she’s said to be ready to play a negative role now.
Already, Bollywood’s biggest star Deepika Padukone is part of superstar Allu Arjun and director Atlee’s upcoming film. Then it came out that even Bollywood diva Jhanvi Kapoor and National heartthrob Rashmika Mandanna are also playing key roles. It’s now coming out that Rashmika will be playing a negative role in the movie. She’s playing a pure antagonist role, and there are also scenes where she will lock horns with Allu Arjun.
While the romantic pairing of Allu Arjun and Rashmika is a hit, as reflected in songs like “Peelings” and “Naa Saami” throughout the Pushpa franchise, many are wondering how it would be to see these two lock horns. Also, this will be the first time Rashmika is playing a negative role, and we have to see how the audience will receive it.
Reports have it that 60% of Allu Arjun and Atlee's film got shot already, but there’s huge CGI work that has to be wrapped in Los Angeles based VFX studios.
