Rashmika Mandanna has a game plan

Looks like actor Rashmika Mandanna doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned to get into the skin of the character for her upcoming film in Telugu. In between her busy shooting schedule for her Kannada film, Yajamana (starring Darshan), Rashmika is also training to play a sportsperson in her yet-to-titled film with Vijay Devarakonda, that is to be directed by Bharat Kamma.  

We’ve heard that when she is not shooting for ongoing projects, the actor is preparing for the sportsperson’s role, and she will be dedicating two months of her time to getting into character before she starts shooting for the film.

Rashmika is currently training under the guidance of a National coach at an undisclosed location. The actor is keen to justify the role, which requires her to play a strong character. Though the specific sport featured in the film has not being revealed, our sources tell us that she will be playing an athlete. Rashmika is apparently keenly following international sportspersons as part of her homework for the role. “She wants to challenge herself with a tough character, and didn’t mind sacrificing other offers that have been pouring in,” add the sources.

Rashmika, who hit it big in the Telugu industry with Chalo, has been bagging many Telugu films lately. While she has completed the shoot for Vijay Devarakonda’s film directed by Parasuram, she has also been signed for a project opposite Nani, that also features Nagarjuna. But it’s this film on sports, that is keeping the actor on her toes.
