Rashmika Mandanna on staying grounded
Speaking about what keeps her grounded, Rashmika said, 'It's the people that surround me. My family, my friends, and my team provide me with utmost support, but they also help me stay grounded. And of course, my fans, who remind me why I do what I do and help me push through to give my best.'
The actress admitted that there are moments when she tells herself to slow down. 'There are days when I remind myself constantly to pause and reflect on everything. That's where journaling really helps. No matter what's happening around me, I try to stay connected to what's happening within me. That's what Dear Diary is all about—checking in with your own truth and leading with kindness, always,' said Rashmika, who is also the founder of the Dear Diary brand.
On the work front, Rashmika will next appear in the Telugu romantic drama The Girlfriend, produced by GA2 Pictures, Mass Movie Makers, and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment. The film's teaser, released in December 2024, has already generated buzz among fans.
She will also star in Thama, a supernatural thriller directed by Muniya fame Aditya Sarpotdar. The story follows a historian who unearths dark secrets about vampire myths, sparking eerie events. Backed by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, with a script by Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew, and Arun Fulara, the film features an ensemble cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Paresh Rawal, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
With a mix of heartfelt personal philosophy and an exciting slate of upcoming projects, Rashmika continues to balance introspection with stardom.

War 2 Hindi Advance Booking Update: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's actioner sells 78,000 tickets in top chains for Thursday, with 1 days to go
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, continued with good bookings in India for the Hindi version. With the opening of bookings in the southern states, there was a significant increase in the film's momentum. With just one day to go, the actioner has sold 78,000 tickets in top chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for the opening day, and the final count seems to be around 150,000-175,000 tickets. This sets the movie up for an opening day in the vicinity of Rs 30 crore, with a potential to reach Rs 35 crore net. War 2 Sells 78,000 Tickets In Top Chains With 1 Day To Go In Hindi; Gears Up For A Rs 30 Crore Plus Net Start; Telugu Bookings Start Well War 2 's bookings in Telugu states have started on a heartening note. Jr NTR fans have been aggressive with the bookings in the twin state. Obviously, the collections are not like a quintessential Tollywood movie because it is seen as a Bollywood film at the end of the day, limiting its potential. But, they are pretty solid. It will likely take the third biggest Bollywood opening for the Telugu dub, only behind Saaho and Adipurush. War 2 Will Aim For A Rs 50 Crore Plus Day 2 In Hindi War 2 will aim to smash Rs 50 crore plus net on Independence Day, for the Hindi version alone. All that the movie really requires is good reports to unleash its potential. The clash of War 2 with Coolie never felt like too big of an issue initially. However, Coolie has done extremely well to make inroads in markets where War 2 looked to be like the clear favourite. War 2's International Bookings So Far Are Strictly Ordinary War 2's international bookings so far are ordinary. A USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend is on the cards. The global opening weekend of War 2 looks to be in the Rs 300 - 350 crore range, as compared to Coolie, which is cruising towards Rs 400 crore. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
