Rashmika Mandanna has announced on Instagram that she will be playing the lead in filmmaker Shantharuban’s debut Telugu film “Rainbow.” The 26-year-old actress shared a set of pictures from the puja ceremony of the film, where she can be seen holding the script and posing with the director and producers. In the caption, Rashmika expressed her excitement about the film and said that the story is so amazing that she can’t put it into words but can only bring it alive for the audience on screen.
Dream Warrior Pictures, the production house behind the film, also shared a video of the puja ceremony on Twitter and thanked everyone for their blessings and support. They said that it was a beautiful affair, made even more special by the presence of industry bigwigs, and they can’t wait to bring the film to life.
According to reports, “Rainbow” is Rashmika’s first women-centric film shot from the girl’s perspective. Dev Mohan, who was recently seen in the Malayalam film “Kuruthi,” plays an important role in the romantic fantasy surrounding the leading lady. The film was first signed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu in October 2021. However, Samantha backed out of the role owing to her health issues and made way for Rashmika.
“Rainbow” will also be released in Tamil and is set to start shooting on April 7. The film marks the directorial debut of Shantharuban, who has previously worked as an assistant director in the Tamil film industry. The project is produced by SR Prabhu and SR Prakashbabu under the banner Dream Warrior Pictures.
Rashmika, who made her debut in the Telugu film industry with “Chalo” in 2018, has since then become one of the most sought-after actresses in the South Indian film industry. She has acted in several Telugu and Kannada films and made her Tamil debut with “Sulthan” alongside Karthi. Rashmika’s upcoming projects include “Pushpa,” co-starring Allu Arjun, and “Aadavaallu Meeku Johaarlu,” alongside Sharwanand.
