Actor Rashmika Mandanna, who enjoys over 30 million followers on Instagram, also kickstarted her YouTube channel and has a huge fandom on social media. As the actress turns a year older today, April 5, let's take a look at some of her upcoming projects.

On the Bollywood front, Rashmika Mandanna is all set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Sidharth Malhotra in 'Mission Majnu', which will release on June 10, and will also be a part of 'Goodbye', starring Amitabh Bachchan and yet-to-be-confirmed 'Animal', opposite Ranbir Kapoor. 

Throwing light on her experience shooting for 'Mission Majnu', Rashmika Mandanna shared in a media interaction, "Firsts are always the most special, and 'Mission Majnu' being my first has given me an opportunity to transcend my boundaries and how. My heart feels happy to know that I started my journey in Hindi cinema with this film with these beautiful people."

Speaking of 'Animal', Parineeti Chopra’s loss has proved to be Rashmika Mandanna’s gain. Considering that there was an overlap of dates between Imtiaz Ali’s biopic on Amar Singh Chamkila and Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, Pari chose to bow out of the latter. Now, after her exit, the makers have got the current south sensation, Rashmika on board. With this, they have not only managed a casting coup of sorts but also got a fresh pairing that is sure to pique audiences’ interest.

Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga begins shooting Animal this summer after RK wraps up his next with Luv Ranjan. In this story set against the gun mafia in the country, Ranbir’s character comes from a gangster family, headed by his reel father Anil Kapoor, while Rashmika plays his wife. 

Rashmika Mandanna, who has made a name for herself in the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada film industries, on Thursday announced that she had completed five years in the film industry.

Rashmika Mandanna has also assured her fans that the second chapter of her Telugu film "Pushpa" will be "better and bigger" that it's first part. Starring Allu Arjun in the title role, the action-thriller is set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling that follows the violence which erupts between the smugglers and cops.

Released on December 17 in theatres in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi, "Pushpa: The Rise" has amassed over Rs 300 crore worldwide as per makers. In "Pushpa: The Rise", Arjun plays a red sanders smuggler in Andhra Pradesh's Rayalaseema region and Mandanna essays the role of a village belle named Srivalli. Malayalam star Fahad Faasil, who made his Telugu debut with the film, plays the menacing Inspector Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in the movie.

"Pushpa: The Rise" is directed by Sukumar of "Arya" fame. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media, the second part of the film, "Pushpa: The Rule" will go on floors in March.
