The year 2018 was mixed fortunes for actress Rashmika Mandanna. The actress became the talk of the town for all the right reasons when Geetha Govindam opened to a good response at the box office. The film, featuring actor Vijay Deverakonda in the lead, clicked with 'Gen Y' and this helped it emerge as a hit.

The Kannada actress was recently roped into Sukumar movie opposite Allu Arjun which is being called 'AA 20'. Needless to say, this created a great deal of buzz amongst Mega fans with most of them giving a grand welcome. However, this not goes down well with Mahesh Babu's fans as she had refused to star opposite 'Prince' in Mahesh 26.

Mahesh 26 is likely to go on floors this June while AA 20 is slated to roll only after Bunny wraps up his film with Trivikram Srinivas. As such, Rashmika might have found it easier to give dates to Allu Arjun's movie. Given her popularity in the crucial market, many feel that she is a valuable asset for the AA 20 team. Meanwhile, Rashmika is currently gearing up for the release of Dear Comrade which is one of the biggest releases of the year. The film, directed by Bharat Kamma, is a political thriller and marks her second collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda.
