Rashmika expressing her appreciation for the collage

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who celebrated her birthday on April 5, received a special gift from the creators of "Pushpa: The Rule" in the form of a new poster featuring her character from the upcoming film. In the poster, Rashmika is seen adorned in a traditional pattu saree, accessorized with gold jewelry, and sporting a neatly tied back hairstyle. Her intense expression as she peers through her fingers captured the attention of fans.

Some fans took to social media to draw comparisons between Rashmika's intense still from "Pushpa" and Mahesh Babu's more light-hearted expression from "Guntur Kaaram". One fan even created a collage juxtaposing the two images and tagged Rashmika in the post, extending birthday wishes on behalf of all Mahesh fans. Rashmika responded with enthusiasm, expressing her appreciation for the collage.

Rashmika made her debut in Tollywood with the 2018 film "Chalo" and went on to star in popular movies such as "Geetha Govindam", "Devadas", and "Dear Comrade". However, it was her role in the 2020 film "Sarileru Neekevvaru" alongside Mahesh Babu that catapulted her to mainstream fame. Despite facing criticism for her character's portrayal in the film, it opened doors for her to secure roles in projects like "Pushpa: The Rule" and "Varisu". Additionally, she made waves with her appearance in Badshah's music video "Top Tucker" in 2021.

Apart from "Pushpa: The Rule", Rashmika is set to appear in a Telugu film titled "The Girlfriend", directed by Rahul Ravindran, with the makers unveiling her first look from the film on her birthday. She is also slated to star in the bilingual film "Rainbow", directed by Shantharuban. Furthermore, Rashmika's foray into Hindi cinema includes the film "Chaava", directed by Yesubai Bhonsale, where she shares the screen with actors like Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna, and Pradeep Rawat.
