rashmika mandanna, who has been riding high on a streak of successful films across multiple industries, recently faced a setback with two high-profile projects — salman Khan’s Sikandar in bollywood and Vijay’s Varisu in tamil cinema. Both films were expected to be major box office hits given the massive fan following of their leading men. However, to the surprise of many, they underperformed commercially and failed to live up to the hype. The back-to-back disappointments came as a contrast to Rashmika’s otherwise impressive run, where she had built a reputation as a “lucky charm” for filmmakers.
Speaking about these flops, rashmika candidly admitted that her decision to sign both films was heavily influenced by the star power of salman khan and Vijay. She revealed that she didn’t pay much attention to the script or the story during the signing process, trusting that the actors’ brand value alone would ensure success. While such an approach might work in some cases, she acknowledged that it also comes with risks, as even the biggest stars cannot guarantee a hit without a strong narrative and engaging content. This rare openness from an actress of her stature was seen by many as a sign of professional maturity and self-awareness.
Rashmika further said that these experiences have been valuable learning curves in her career. She vowed not to repeat the mistake of overlooking the script in favor of star appeal in future projects. Going forward, she plans to focus on stories and roles that challenge her as an actor while also appealing to audiences on a deeper level. Her fans are hopeful that this renewed approach will not only help her maintain her position in the industry but also allow her to explore more meaningful and impactful roles, ensuring that both critics and the box office remain on her side.
