Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for ‘Arjun Reddy’, directed ‘Animal’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, amassing over ₹650 crores. The film has gained praise from stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Allu Arjun. Rumors suggest Rashmika Mandanna, after impressing in ‘Animal’, might join the sets of ‘Pushpa 2’.
Director Sukumar allegedly reworked some ‘Pushpa 2’ scenes for her after being captivated by her performance in ‘Animal’. This new role reportedly focuses on the post-marriage life of the protagonist, enhancing Rashmika’s part. It’s speculated that Rashmika’s standout role in ‘Animal’ might attract other renowned directors to offer her more significant roles.
If she delivers as expected, she could break away from the conventional ‘glam-doll’ image and establish herself in a league of versatile performers. This potential evolution could redefine her career trajectory, moving beyond the typical commercial heroine roles she’s been associated with.
