New Delhi: Rashmika Mandanna became an overnight sensation with her character of 'Srivalli' and her hook step of 'Saami Saami', which is still a viral sensation after 9 months of release. The actress recently spoke about the films that changed her career and mentioned Pushpa changing the perspective of the audiences across the country.
She said, "First is Kirik Party, which is my debut Kannada film, next is Geeta Govindam which got so many eyes on me as a performer and after that is Pushpa. It changed the perception of me as an actor across the country.” The actor added, “I was never an actor. I am still in a phase where I am exploring myself. So for me, being a public figure is still a new concept.”
Further talking about Pushpa’s success, Rashmika Mandanna said, “We knew that we had made a good film. We can never foresee the outcome of a film. We knew the content was good and it was going to be out there. But we knew that it was going to be positive. And then the outcome was just like ‘wow.’”
Rashmika Mandanna’s 2021 release ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ made the actor a household name across India. The actress was lauded not just for her role in the Telugu smash hit but also for her dancing. She caused a stir with her catchy hook step of ‘Saami Saami’.
Recently, Rashmika re-created the magic of Saami Saami with 90s superstar Govinda. The actress made a splash at the DID Super Moms finale by performing her hit song ‘Saami Saami’ alongside Govinda. The actor danced with Rashmika like a pro.
While we have seen Rashmika winning all our hearts as 'Srivalli' in Pushpa, the kind of rage she has created all over is truly commendable and her fans are eagerly waiting to watch more of her on the screen.
The actress is currently gearing up for her upcoming film, 'Goodbye', opposite Amitabh Bachchan. She also has 'Animal' opposite Ranbir Kapoor, 'Varisu' opposite Vijay Thalapatty and 'Mission Majnu' opposite Sidharth Malhotra in the pipeline.
