Rashmika Mandanna going the Triptii Dimri way? Fans concerned

Rashmika Mandanna, known for her versatility and nuanced performances in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, quickly won hearts with her relatable, grounded portrayals. However, in recent times, there has been a shift in her on-screen image that is starting to echo the trajectory of another actress—Triptii Dimri..

Going The Triptii Dimri Way?

Triptii Dimri, who garnered attention for her roles in movies like Qala & Bulbbul and was lauded for her exceptional acting skills, saw a shift in her career when she appeared in Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor. While her acting talent was undeniable, the film’s intense intimate scenes and the increased focus on her physical appearance seemed to overshadow her range as an actress.

Much to the dismay of her fans, Dimri’s subsequent projects leaned heavily into her sexualized image, a move that many felt was a disservice to her true potential.

Rashmika Mandanna now appears to be treading a similar path, and fans are starting to voice their concerns.

Prioritising glamour over Acting:

Her highly anticipated role in Pushpa 2 has already stirred mixed reactions, especially with the overemphasis on her glam-dance sequences. While the film promises to be a mega-blockbuster, some of her dance steps have been labeled as excessively sexualized, diverting attention away from her considerable acting prowess.

Moreover, her appearance in Animal, where she shared intimate kisses with Ranbir Kapoor. Then, there is Sikandar, her collaboration with Salman Khan. Recent song releases from the film have shown her in highly glamorous avatars that seem to prioritize allure over substance. 

Now, fans are questioning whether Rashmika’s talent is being underutilized in favour of selling a more commercialized, glam-focused image.

Fans are worried that Rashmika, like Triptii Dimri, is being reduced to a mere glam quotient, with her acting talent taking a backseat. They believe that her charm lies not just in her looks but in her versatility, and they want to see her in roles that challenge her and give her space to grow as an actress.
