Meet Amitabh Bachchan's new heroine

After storming the South film industry, actress Rashmika Mandanna is set to make her presence felt in Bollywood.

The young lady will star alongside Amitabh Bachchan in Vikas Bahl's next directorial venture, Deadly.

But who is Rashmika? Namrata Thakker finds out.

 

Born and raised in Karnataka, Rashmika pursued modelling and appeared in a few advertisements before making her big acting debut in 2016.

 

Her first film Kirik Party was a commercial hit and since then, there has been no looking back for the 24 year old.

 

After her successful acting debut, Rashmika gave two more hits in Kannada: Anjani Putra and Chamak.

In 2018, she made her Telugu debut with the hit romantic-comedy, Chalo.

 

Her second Telugu film, Geetha Govindam, starred Vijay Deverakonda, and it was well received by critics as well as the audience.

 

This year, the gorgeous actress had three Telugu releases, out of which two fared really well at the box office.

Sarileru Neekevvaru, opposite Telugu superstar Mahesh Bhatt, was a huge blockbuster.
