Rashmika Mandanna Stuns in Saree at Epic – First Semester Trailer Launch

A radiant photograph of Rashmika Mandanna smiling warmly in a black-and-white patterned saree paired with a maroon blouse captured attention at the trailer launch of Epic – First Semester. The event, held in Hyderabad for Anand Deverakonda’s upcoming film, marked one of her first public appearances after recovering from a hip injury. Dressed elegantly with traditional jewellery and a bindi, she looked every bit the National Crush while supporting her brother-in-law.

Rashmika made her acting debut in the 2016 Kannada blockbuster Kirik Party. She rose to pan-India fame with Telugu hits like Geetha Govindam (2018) and cemented her stardom as Srivalli in the Pushpa franchise. Her Bollywood breakthrough came with Animal (2023), followed by major successes in Pushpa 2: The Rule, Chhaava, Thamma, and The Girlfriend.

Currently, she is busy with a packed slate of projects. Upcoming films include the action thriller Mysaa (releasing November 2026), the period drama Ranabaali opposite Vijay Deverakonda, Raaka with Atlee, Pushpa 3, and the Hindi romantic comedy Cocktail 2. With her versatility across languages and genres, Rashmika continues to dominate Indian cinema as one of its most bankable stars.
