Rashmika Mandanna’s new look from director Venky Kudumula’s VNRTrio is here!

Rashmika Mandanna is on a film-signing spree. While she awaits the release of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 in the coming months, she has signed a flurry of Telugu projects recently. Her Tamil-Telugu bilingual Rainbow, produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, took off earlier this week, she signed her third film with director Venky Kudumula recently as well.

Director Venky Kudumula’s next, tentatively titled VNRTrio, will have Rashmika paired opposite Nithiin and be produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under Mythri Movie Makers (the same banner that’s backing her pan Indian film Pushpa 2 as well). Commemorating Rashmika’s birthday today, the team unveiled a special poster featuring the actress today.

“The team of #VNRTrio wishes @iamRashmika a very Happy Birthday. May you always be smiling and spread happiness. @actor_nithiin @VenkyKudumula @gvprakash @MythriOfficial,” the social media handle of the production house read. Dressed in a modern outfit, Rashmika dons a black coat over her top and pairs it with her black denims in the poster.

The makers also say, ‘Adventurous entertainer coming your way.’ The foreign backdrop in the poster suggests an interesting backstory to her character. Several leading names are part of the project already. Sir/Vaathi composer GV Prakash Kumar is already on board for the music. The technical crew comprises cinematographer Sai Sriram, editor Prawin Pudi and art director Raam Kumar.

The actress and the director earlier collaborated for two hits - Chalo and Bheeshma, a romance comedy and an action entertainer respectively. Both films were commercially successful and earned praise from critics as well. Venky Kudumula was to direct Chiranjeevi for a film to be produced by DVV Danayya, though the project has been put on hold for now.
