Rashmika Mandanna is one of the most sought-after actors in the Indian film fraternity, having worked with multiple stars across multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and others. The 'Pushpa' actor had also worked with Tamil superstar Vijay Thalapathy in the 2023 film, 'Varisu'.

From fan to film lead
She went on to confess that she had been waiting to share the screen with him, even stating that she hoped to work with him someday.
