Rashmika Mandanna Samantha Akkineni
Rashmika Mandanna and Samantha Akkineni are two big South Indian actresses who rule the heart of millions. While Samantha being the eldest of the two actresses ventured into movies much earlier, it seems it is Rashoo who has got an edge over her right now.
Younger Rashmika Mandanna Achieved More Success in Short Time Than Samantha
Samantha Akkineni recently completed 11 years in the field of entertainment. Over the years she has evolved from a shy girl in Ye Maaya Chesaave to a glamorous diva currently at the top of Tollywood. On the other hand, Rashoo debuted with Karanataka movie in 2016 and in a span of just four years has become the heart crush of India.
Undoubtedly, Samantha has more awards and blockbusters to her name, because she has done much more movies than the Dear Comrade actress. Rashmika has until now acted in only 10 to 11 movies whereas Sam has featured in around 37 flicks.
Interestingly, all of the movies of Rashmika have been hits whereas Samantha has seen ups and downs with 8 flops. Out of 10 movies of the Top Tucker dancer, 2 have been hits whereas 4 have been blockbusters which include Dear Comrade, Geetha Govindam, Chalo, and more.
Contrarily out of 37 movies, only 4 movies of Samantha Akkineni have been blockbusters and 12 were declared regular hits. So Rashmika Mandanna is way ahead when it comes to giving blockbuster movies.
Rashmika Focussed on Pan India Stardom, Achieved More Money and Fame
The Bheeshma actress has received a good response for her music video with Badshah-Top Tucker. Currently, she is filming for Mission Majnu with Sidharth Malhotra which will mark her Bollywood debut.
Interestingly, she already has yet another Bollywood movie Deadly with Amitabh Bachchan in hand. Rashoo also has Pushpa with Allu Arjun and Sulthan with Karthii lined up for release.
Coming to Samantha, she debuted in the Hindi entertainment world with The Family Man Season 2 but could not grab the limelight as expected. She is keeping herself busy these days with her talk show and also has a Vignesh Shivan movie with Nayanthara and Shakuntalam in hand.

According to reports, Rashmika leads when it comes to the amount currently being paid to South Indian actresses including Pooja Hegde, Rakul Preet Singh, and Samantha. It all indicates that the Sarileru Neekevvaru actress has left not only the Jaanu actress but most of the other Southern divas far behind.
