Mumbai, February 25, 2024 — In a candid revelation, the effervescent Rashmika Mandanna, who recently graced the silver screen as Geetanjali in the adrenaline-pumping blockbuster “Animal,” has finally addressed her conspicuous absence from the limelight following the film’s roaring success.
“We have delivered a massive film,” Rashmika shared on her Instagram, accompanied by a captivating black-and-white portrait. The actress, known for her magnetic screen presence, explained why she refrained from taking ‘ownership’ of the film’s triumph. Her words resonate with both humility and a desire to savor the moment:
“I too wanted to enjoy it, but sometimes life takes you on unexpected journeys. While the world celebrated ‘Animal,’ I was immersed in new projects, working tirelessly to bring more magic to the screen.”
Rashmika also shared a long note and spoke about her upcoming film. Teasing her look, the actor said that she is shooting for ‘some of the biggest and most intense films’ in her career.
Rashmika Mandanna wrote, “Hi guys! Can’t show my full face as it’s a new film look, and I can’t reveal it before my film team does, as always. But the shoots are going really well – just wanted to let you all know… Also, another thing that I wanted to just talk about is the topic that was going around saying ‘she’s not taking ownership of her success and all that’.”

Furthermore, Rashmika Mandanna wrote, “Ok, here’s the thing. 1- I know it comes from a place of love, concern, and worry. We have delivered a massive film (Animal), and people loved it and appreciated it. I too wanted to take some time out to enjoy it, as every one of us wants to, but I was back on set the next day of my film release (being the amazing workaholic that I am), and hence I was and am unable to do a lot of interviews or events out there. I am having to do these overnight travels for work, and I am shooting for some of the biggest and most intense films in my career.”
