South Indian sensation Rashmika Mandanna made it to the top of the league after appearing in less than 10 films and enjoys a massive fan following in line with that of a number of leading male superstars. A major crowd puller in Kannada and Telugu films, Rashmika, who was declared by Google as the 'National Crush of India' for 2020, finally made her Tamil cinema debut in the Karthi-starrer, Sulthan, which came out in April. Having been paired opposite names like Vijay Deverakonda, Mahesh Babu and Nithiin in Telugu, Tamil cinema fans have been rallying for quite some time for Rashmika to be cast alongside 'Thalapathy' Vijay.
In that light, Rashmika, who is known to be active on social media, had recently done a Q&A on Instagram, with many queries coming her way about Vijay. The Sulthan actress was asked by one user to describe the Tamil superstar, to which she responded by posting a picture of her smiling along with a heart emoji. Upon being asked, "when will u act with Thalapathy", Rashmika replied saying "very soon" in a video, which has left fans elated since then. The "very soon" update from Rashmika has come at a time when it was confirmed by Telugu director Vamshi Paidipally that he will be teaming up with Vijay for Thalapathy 66 under leading producer Dil Raju's banner. Whether Rashmika will be a part of Thalapathy 66 is yet to be known and only an official announcement will put an end to that wait.
As for her upcoming projects, Rashmika Mandanna is at present working alongside 'Stylish Star' Allu Arjun in the Telugu action drama Pushpa, which also has National Award-winning Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil as the villain and is scheduled for a theatrical release in August. She also was recently announced to be a part of another Telugu film titled Aadaalloo Meeku Johaarlu, opposite Sharwanand. Rashmika is also set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Sidharth Malhotra in Mission Majnu, including landing a massive role in Amitabh Bachchan's Goodbye.
