Rashmika Mandanna is currently riding high on the success of Kubera, which earned her praise for her performance and cemented her place in the top league of actresses. Now, she’s making headlines again for reportedly signing on for the much-hyped project AA22xA6. After sharing screen space with Allu Arjun in Pushpa: The Rise and the upcoming Pushpa 2: The Rule, Rashmika is reportedly gearing up for her third collaboration with the star. However, this time, there’s a twist — she may be seen in a negative-shaded role.

Industry insiders reveal that Rashmika has already done a look test for the film in Los Angeles, signaling that her inclusion in the project is almost certain. What’s turning heads is her bold decision to step into a darker character, something rarely explored by mainstream heroines. If finalized, the role could become a defining moment in her career, testing both her range and screen presence.

Rashmika has always taken bold and smart choices when it comes to picking scripts. From her debut in Kirik Party (Kannada) and Chalo (Telugu) to commercial hits like Sarileru Neekevvaru, she has ensured that her characters carry weight. Her performances in Geetha Govindam, Dear Comrade, Pushpa, Animal, and Chhavaa have showcased her versatility — balancing glam, emotion, and performance-driven roles.

What sets Rashmika apart is her refusal to get typecast. Even when trolled or criticized, she continues to be a vital part of the success of her films. Her career graph is evidence of strategic planning — always striving to move upward, never stagnating.

Taking inspiration from legends like Ramya Krishna, Soundarya, Meena, and others who made bold choices in their careers — especially by portraying strong negative characters — Rashmika could be on the brink of a major shift. Ramya Krishna’s iconic role as Neelambari in Narasimha remains a classic example of how a powerful antagonist can steal the spotlight, even alongside a superstar like Rajinikanth.

With Allu Arjun being paired with top heroines like Deepika Padukone, Mrunal Thakur, and Janhvi Kapoor in upcoming ventures, Rashmika opting to play an antagonist could position her uniquely among her peers. Whether or not the reports are confirmed, this move — if it materializes — will undoubtedly earn her recognition, if not immediate box-office success.

Currently busy with multiple projects in Telugu and Hindi, including female-centric and titular roles, Rashmika seems ready to take risks. If this isn’t the perfect time to experiment, there may never be one. And if she does say yes to this role — it’s only upwards and onwards from here!
