Rashmika Mandanna Exits Upcoming Film; Sreeleela Steps In as Replacement

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who gained national fame with the blockbuster film Pushpa: The Rise, had to drop out of an upcoming project due to her busy schedule.

She was set to star alongside Nithiin in a highly anticipated film directed by Venky Kudumula.

Rashmikas rising popularity across different Indian film industries made it difficult for her to manage multiple commitments.Although she recently finished shooting for Animal with Ranbir Kapoor and is simultaneously working on the Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Rainbow, she had to make the difficult decision to leave the Nithiin project due to date clashes.

The filmmaker, Kudumula, reluctantly accepted Rashmikas concerns and had to find a replacement.Enter Sreeleela, the new actress who has been making waves in the South Indian film industry.

Notably, she was also chosen to replace Pooja Hegde in the Mahesh Babu-starrer Guntur Kaaram.Sreeleelas striking good looks have caught the attention of many filmmakers, and she has landed several major projects.

In the span of 2023-2024 alone, she is expected to appear in seven films, including Aadikeshava, Skanda, Bhagvanth Kesari, Nithiin 32, Guntur Kaaram, VD12, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh.Previously, Rashmika, Nithiin, and Kudumula had collaborated on the successful film Bheeshma.

Their partnership earned them the nickname "VNR Trio" among fans.Interestingly, the untitled project they were working on was temporarily named VNR Trio.

However, due to Rashmikas departure, the team had to let go of that title.Fans remain hopeful that in the future, an opportunity will arise for the talented trio to reunite and create magic on the silver screen once again.
