Rashmika Mandanna’s birthday post

A few days ago, on the actress’s birthday, the makers shared a post on their official social media handle featuring a monochromatic poster where Rashmika Mandanna has a very intense gaze. Her face is covered with dust and blood. She looks strong, angry, and powerful. The black and white style makes it even more striking, portraying her as she is bold and fearless. In another teaser shared earlier, her mother describes her, saying, “They said my daughter is dead. But the land shook in fear, failing to hide my daughter’s blood. The wind comes to a still, failing to carry my daughter’s breath. The fire turned into ashes, failing to see my daughter’s burning rage.
And finally, Death faced Death, failing to kill my daughter.”
