Pan-India actress Rashmika Mandanna is currently one of the busiest stars in the film industry, with fans across the country thanks to her work in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi films. Her Bollywood career is also on the rise, and she is now taking on a new challenge for her upcoming film "Chhava," where she stars alongside Vicky Kaushal.
Preparing for Her Role
In "Chhava," Rashmika plays the role of Yesubai, the wife of the Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of the legendary Shivaji. Since the film, although primarily in Hindi, includes several dialogues in Marathi, Rashmika has taken it upon herself to learn the language. She is committed to delivering her lines authentically and will be dubbing for her character herself. To achieve this, Rashmika underwent four weeks of intensive Marathi language training.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, "Chhava" is a biographical film about the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, and Rashmika’s dedication to learning Marathi reflects her commitment to bringing her character to life with authenticity.
Rising Popularity in Bollywood
Rashmika Mandanna has already made a name for herself as a superstar in the South Indian film industry, and her popularity in Bollywood is rapidly increasing. Her recent success with the film "Animal" has further solidified her status as a beloved actress among Hindi cinema audiences.
In "Chhava," Rashmika teams up with Vicky Kaushal, who has recently created a buzz with the song "Toba Toba" from the film "Bad News." Both actors previously appeared together in a commercial, which garnered attention and stirred some controversy.
Rashmika’s versatility and willingness to embrace new languages and cultures for her roles demonstrate her dedication to her craft, making her a favorite among audiences nationwide.
