The success meet of the recently released film Kuberaa turned heartwarming when Telugu cinema legends Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna openly praised actress Rashmika Mandanna, calling her their personal crush. The moment, which drew laughter and applause from the audience, quickly became the highlight of the evening.
Nagarjuna, while speaking about Rashmika’s performance, compared her to the iconic Sridevi, particularly recalling her brilliance in Kshana Kshanam. He went on to say, “No wonder they call her the National Crush because of Pushpa… but after this film, she’s also my crush.” Following his remarks, Chiranjeevi took the stage and added playfully, “Nag quoted my dialogue—Rashmika is not only your crush but also my crush.”
The unexpected compliment left Rashmika smiling as the crowd cheered. The event, held to celebrate the commercial and critical success of Kuberaa, showed the camaraderie between the stars and highlighted Rashmika’s growing stature in the industry. Directed by Sekhar Kammula and starring Dhanush in the lead, the film has already seen a strong opening at the box office.
