How Rashmika Mandanna Became South Cinema’s Biggest Star
Rashmika Mandanna has become a leading name in Indian cinema. She is one of the most popular and successful actresses today. Her films together have earned more than ₹3,000 crores at the box office in India. Pushpa 2: The Rule alone crossed ₹1,000 crores globally. This remarkable collection shows how much people love watching her on the big screen. Recent films like Animal and Chhaava have also performed well at the box office, adding to her growing reputation.
Rashmika’s popularity is not just about numbers. Her strong acting skills and charming presence connect with the audience. She has a huge fan base across the country, and many people come to the theatre just to watch her perform. After Pushpa 2 and Animal, her name is often called “Bollywood’s box office queen”—a title that highlights her ability to draw crowds.

However, her journey has not been without controversy. There were reports that she disregarded an award invitation in Karnataka and made a comment about not knowing much about the state’s culture. Some people criticized her for these reports, and a Karnataka Congress MLA openly condemned her. But her team dismissed these stories, stating that she never received a formal invitation and that the reports were false. There was a lot of controversy for a while, but her popularity remained strong.
Rashmika is not just a superstar in multistarrer films; she is also a lead actor who can carry a film on her own. She plays the main role in the upcoming Telugu movie The Girlfriend. The film is a character-centric story, focusing on emotions and relationships — something we do not often see in mainstream cinema. The success of The Girlfriend will show whether Rashmika can draw crowds to the theatre on her own.
Today, Rashmika Mandanna is a powerful force in the film industry. She has a huge following, delivers box office success, and stands strong against controversies. Her future looks very bright as she continues to win the hearts of people across the country.
