JOIN USRashmika Mandanna to act opposite Suriya in Pandiraj's next movie?
Actor Rashmika Mandanna, one of the most popular young stars in the film industry, is likely to act opposite Tamil hero Suriya in noted director Pandiraj's next movie.

She acted opposite Vijay Deverakonda in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, adding a new dimension to her career. The 'Karnataka Crush' will soon be making her Kollywood debut with Sulthan, co-starring Karthi.
The star is going through a busy phase on the work front. She started off the year with the Sankranti hit Sarileru Neekevvaru, featuring Mahesh Babu in the lead. Rashmika acted alongside Nithiin in Bheeshma, which exceeded expectations at the box office. She is working on the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa, which is likely to hit the screens in multiple languages.
