Kuberaa: Rashmika Mandanna is Nagarjuna's crush; actress' reaction to actor's confession is priceless

Kuberaa has made Rs 50 crores over the weekend. It stars Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. The Sekhar Kammula story is about crime and money with a reference to Kuber, the lord of wealth. Everyone is gaga over the performance of Dhanush, who plays a beggar. Many believe this is his career-best work. However, the surprise of the movie is Rashmika Mandanna. She has delivered a terrific performance as Sameera. Her equation with Dhanush is a platonic one but their scenes leave a great impact. At the event, Nagarjuna said that Rashmika Mandanna surprised one and all with her stellar acting.

Rashmika Mandanna is having a golden run as a performer. Her box office record is also exceptional. She was part of a Rs 1,000 crore blockbuster with Animal. Then, we had Pushpa 2 where people loved her as Srivalli. It was reported that Rashmika Mandanna got paid Rs 10 crores for the Allu Arjun movie. It was followed by Chhaava, which made Rs 800 crores at the global box office. In between, Sikandar with Salman Khan did not do very well but Kuberaa is again a success. It has made Rs 50 crores globally so far.

Nagarjuna said that Rashmika is absolutely fantastic in the movie. He said forget being the national crush of India, she is also his crush. Nagarjuna compared her to the greatest actresses of South Indian cinema. Rashmika Mandanna could not hide her happiness. She made a heart for Nagarjuna and gave him a hug. Critics have praised the vision of Sekhar Kammula for extracting such a good performance from her. They said this is what happens when a director has a different vision. Akkineni Nagarjuna has also done a wonderful job in the film.
