Prior to this, Rashmika shared her struggle to get ready at the last minute through a social media post. She penned on her IG, "Sometimes.. just sometimes things happen too last minute and have to do hair make up styling all by yourself and have to ask my best friend to take my pictures.. it ends up like this. I love it!! It’s taking me back to college days fully."

Rashmika looked radiant in a golden saree, paired with a contrasting blue blouse. She tied her look with brown-toned makeup, along with some blue bangles and golden jhumkas. The 'Pushpa' actress was also seen flaunting a cute little bindi, with her hair tied in a neat bun. Talking about her professional commitments, Rashmika is gearing up for the release of her next, "Sikandar", opposite Salman Khan. The highly-awaited drama has been helmed by A.R. Murugadoss, known for "Ghajini".

With Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna as the lead pair, "Sikandar" also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar as secondary cast. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, "Sikandar" is scheduled to reach the theatres on March 31, on Eid al-Fitr. In addition to this, Rashmika Mandanna also has Sekhar Kammula's "Kubera" co-starring Dhanush, and Aditya Sarpotdar's "Thama", along with Ayushmann Khurrana in her kitty.

After a brief modelling career, Mandanna made her acting debut with the Kannada romantic comedy Kirik Party (2016), and found further commercial success in the action picture Anjani Putra and romance Chamak (both 2017). In Telugu cinema, she had her breakthrough with the romantic comedy Geetha Govindam (2018), which earned her the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress — Telugu. She played the leading lady in the action comedies Devadas (2018), Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020) and Bheeshma (2020), as well as in the Tamil action film Sulthan (2021). Even so, her inclination towards androcentric films drew criticism for providing limited scope to showcase her acting abilities.

Mandanna earned wider recognition with the pan-India success of the Telugu action film Pushpa: The Rise (2021). After playing a supporting role in the period drama Sita Ramam (2022), she expanded to Hindi cinema with two unremarkable films. She had her highest-grossing releases with the action dramas Animal (2023) and Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024), which were controversial for their toxic masculine narratives, as well as the historical action film Chhaava (2025). In addition to acting, Mandanna serves as the ambassador of several brands and products.
