Her upcoming projects

The film’s success has catapulted Rashmika to new heights, and she has been receiving accolades for her performance.
The makers of Pushpa 2: The Rule have announced that Pushpa 2: The Rule Reloaded, featuring an additional 20 minutes of bonus footage, will release in theaters starting January 17. This is exciting news for fans of the film, who will get to see more of Rashmika’s performance as Srivalli.
Rashmika’s upcoming movies include Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, alongside Salman Khan. The film features Salman Khan in dual roles alongside Kajal Aggarwal, Rashmika, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Pratek Babbar. This film marks Salman Khan’s reunion with Sajid Nadiadwala, nearly a decade after their blockbuster Kick, and is scheduled to release in theaters on Eid 2025.
After Sikandar, Rashmika will star in Rahul Ravindran’s directorial venture, The Girlfriend. The film’s teaser was recently unveiled by Rashmika’s rumoured boyfriend, Vijay Deverakonda, who praised Rashmika’s growth as an actor and performer. Sharing the teaser, Vijay wrote on X, “I love every visual of this teaser. I am so excited to see this drama unfold. She has been a lucky charm for so many of us actors, being part of our biggest successes. Growing fiercely as an actor, a performer, and a star, while still remaining the same girl as a person, the same girl I met on sets 8 years ago. Wishing you, Rashmika Mandanna, all the best for your first project where you shoulder so much responsibility. And dearest Rahul Ravindran, who I know will tell a great story that will move every audience.”
