In light of the ongoing conversation about the divide between South and Hindi cinema, Rashmika Mandanna, set to star in the eagerly anticipated ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ alongside Allu Arjun, shared her perspective with the Hindustan Times. Mandanna calls for an inclusive approach towards the Indian film industry, emphasizing the need to celebrate its unity rather than focusing on regional differences.
She expressed, “I believe it’s high time we begin referring to our industry as the Indian film industry because, ultimately, we all belong to the entertainment fraternity, and we are all citizens of one nation.” Mandanna highlighted the importance of collaboration across the various sectors of the Indian film industry, applauding the current trend of cross-industry projects that blur linguistic and geographical boundaries.
Adding to her global presence, Rashmika Mandanna’s recent visit to Japan, where she represented India at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024, demonstrated her international appeal. Fans welcomed her with enthusiasm, a moment she shared on social media, expressing joy over fulfilling a childhood dream of visiting Japan and participating in an event that honors anime creators.
Looking ahead, 2024 promises to be a breakthrough year for Mandanna with the release of ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ and her Bollywood debut in ‘Chhaava’ opposite Vicky Kaushal. Her advocacy for a unified Indian film industry underscores a growing movement towards greater inclusivity and collaboration in cinema.
