Rashmika Mandanna's journey towards stardom can have a few hiccups: Things that can put a break

Young and beautiful Rashmika Mandanna celebrates her 29th birthday today. The actress known for her cute smile and back-to-back Bollywood and Tollywood hits is currently the hot favourite of millions of Indian movie fans. Be it Telugu, Hindi, or Tamil, Rashmika Mandanna has delivered hits in all these languages.

More importantly, her recent massive success in Bollywood with films like Animal and Chhaava has brought her in direct competition with the young actresses of today like Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani and others.

Things that can stop Rashmika Mandanna from making it big

The recent few blockbusters like Chhaava, and Pushpa: The Rule have ensured that Rashmika Mandanna is one of the most successful actresses among the younger lot. In both these movies she had a small role and it was the hero who carried the film on his shoulders. Even then the pleasant presence of Rashmika Mandanna is something that leaves a lot of fans hooked to the screen.

Despite these facts gaining superstardom in Bollywood may not be easy for the actress. The first thing is that while Rashoo is good at dancing she is just average and does not have a particular style. Rashmika Mandanna will need to ace up her game when it comes to dancing to stand out among the rest. But at present, she is just doing the needful, not something out of the way.

Behind every great king, there stands a queen of unmatched strength.

Rashmika must stop doing flower pot roles

Another thing that can put a break on her journey to stardom in Bollywood is flower-pot roles. While Rashoo has big hits on her name, most of these films would have made it big even if she was replaced by some other good actress. Pushpa is known more for Allu Arjun, Animal is known more for Ranbir Kapoor, and ditto with Chhaava. In the biopic of Sambhaji Maharaj, it was the acting of Vicky Kaushal in the lead role and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb that was most discussed.

While actresses like Kriti Sanon earlier did small or flower pot roles they have now shifted to doing meaningful characters. For example in both Crew and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Ziya Kriti had a stellar role which gave her ample scope to prove her mettle as an actress.

The third and most important thing is if Rashmika Mandanna wants to become a big star in Bollywood she must work on her Hindi diction. While she does speak Hindi decently, to ensure that she gets fully accepted as a Bollywood heroine it is important that the actress drops her South Indian tone when it comes to saying dialogues in Hindi.
