Rashmika Mandanna is currently enjoying the success of Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule. The actress was recently roped in for an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla Masterclass where she recounted how her films like Animal and Pushpa 2 were major hits that were released in the month of December.
In her response, Rashmika Mandanna said, “It truly feels special. I think my first film (Kirik Party) was released on December 30th or 31st since then I’ve had a film called Chamak in Kannada, then Pushpa 1, Animal, and Pushpa 2. So I feel like I have some connection with the month December.”
“Now, my fear is also that next any film releasing in December, I’m like okay I hope it’s good and I hope it makes the impact the films so far have done. I can’t take so much stress on me.”
