Rashmika Mandanna
It was reported that Rashmika Mandanna, established Tollywood icon and increasingly being recognized for her roles in Bollywood films, recently became the victim of financial fraud by her long-time manager. It was reported that the manager defrauded the actress of Rs 80 lakh. After the news surfaced online, the actor and her manager have released an official statement regarding the matter.
In an official clarification, both Rashmika and her manager emphasized that there is no animosity between them. They asserted their commitment to professionalism and revealed their mutual agreement to pursue independent paths moving forward. "There's no negativity between us. We have decided to part ways amicably. There is no truth in the rumours about how we are parting ways. We are thorough professionals and have decided to work independently henceforth" Rashmika and her manager quoted late Thursday.
Meanwhile, sources close to the actress had also earlier denied the reports. "The news of Rashmika Mandannaâs manager duping her for money and being fired is false and completely untrue. The actress was managed by her south manager for a long time. However now they have decided to amicably part ways for their own personal reasons."
On the work front, Mandanna was last seen in the Hindi spy thriller âMission Majnu'. Her next release will be âAnimal', which is helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Mandanna will share the silver screen with other Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. The film is slated for release on August 11th.
She recently wrapped the shoot of the film and shared BTS pictures with the team of the film. She also penned a long note sharing her experience of working on the film.
