When Rashmika Mandanna recalled facing multiple REJECTION and being told she didn’t have ‘the face of an actor’

Rashmika Mandanna is one of the most sought-after superstars in the country. Apart from her versatile and exceptional performances, she is also loved for her ethereal beauty, glamorous style statements and humble and fun-loving nature. But things weren’t always so honky-dory.

The Dear Comrade actress once opened up about her initial rejections and being told that she didn’t have the ‘face of an actor’. Rashmika opened up about the same in an interview with Baradwaj Rangan on Galatta Plus.

She said, “I came home and sat and cried. Then there was another film that I auditioned for the last time and finally I got it. We went to training for that film.” The actress said that after training for 2-3 months, the film didn’t work out.

The Animal actress further revealed that she was rejected from 20 to 25 auditions and that people told her she didn’t look like an actor.

In the same interview, the actress also said that her urge to improve with every film is very strong. “The urge to constantly improve and be better is so strong in my mind. I look at my films and think, oh my god, I wish I could do better,” she added.

On the professional front, Rashmika Mandanna has several exciting projects in the pipeline. The first is the much-awaited pan-Indian film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. The upcoming action drama is the sequel to Sukumar’s directorial, Pushpa: The Rise.

Rashmika also has two big Bollywood films coming up. She will be sharing the screen with Vicky Kaushal in Chhava and Salman Khan in Sikandar. Interestingly, Chhava will be competing with Pushpa: The Rise in theatres, both releasing on December 6.

Moreover, Mandanna is part of the Dhanush-starrer Kubera. The film, directed by Sekhar Kammula, also features Nagarjuna, Jim Sarbh and Dalip Tahil in crucial roles. It is reportedly a political drama in which Dhanush plays a homeless man in Dharavi who later becomes a mafia boss.
