Bollywood has been increasingly looking toward South Indian actresses, especially at a time when several established Hindi heroines have struggled to deliver consistent box-office success. After Rashmika Mandanna made a strong impression in Hindi cinema, producers are now eager to bring more South stars into mainstream Bollywood projects. Names like Meenakshi Chaudhary, Rukmini Vasanth, and Bhagyashri Borse are now firmly on their radar.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh is preparing for his next ambitious film, Pralay, a large-scale zombie drama that is said to feature a powerful female lead with a significant romantic track. Industry buzz suggests that either Rukmini Vasanth or Bhagyashri Borse is being considered for the role. Reports indicate that the makers have already approached both actresses and are currently checking their availability, with the final decision likely to depend on dates and scheduling.

Rukmini Vasanth earned pan-Indian recognition with Kantara: Chapter 1, strengthening her position as a promising choice for big-ticket projects. On the other hand, Bhagyashri Borse, though yet to score a major blockbuster, continues to attract multiple offers, reflecting the industry’s strong confidence in her potential and future prospects.
