At a pre-release event of Bheeshma Rashmika Mandanna had asked Dil Raju and Trivikram Srinivas for a film from the dais. But the fact is she had already signed the NTR film by then, this was just a small drama that she enacted.
The actress is capitalizing on the absence of actresses like Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Tamannha, and Kajal. Rakul Preet too is out of the Telugu market, with the three mentioned actresses becoming a spent force. Kajal and Tamanna and Rakul are looking aged.
With Sai Pallavi being booked by Nani and Sharwanand, Niddhi Aggarwal and Anu Emmanuel being considered as a second lead, there is a dearth of ladies to be cast, opposite top heroes. Pooja Hegde is doing one or two films here and has been booked opposite Salman Khan, her presence will slowly fade soon. Raashi Khanna is the only girl who needs a plum project to bounce back.
