Rashmika Mandanna, the talented and versatile actress, has been making waves in the Indian film industry. Known for her captivating performances, she has carved a niche for herself. However, her upcoming lady-oriented film, Rainbow, seems to have hit a roadblock.
The Film’s Journey
- Rainbow was launched with much fanfare in April last year.
- The movie, which is centered around a female protagonist, started shooting but faced unexpected challenges.
- Despite filming for 20 days, the project was abruptly shelved.
Tamil Cinema Landscape
- In Bollywood, lady-oriented films like Gangubai Kathiawadi and Manikarnika have found success at the box office.
- However, the scenario is different in Tamil Nadu.
- The Tamil audience rejected the biopic of their beloved leader, Jayalalitha, in the film Thalaivi, starring Kangana Ranaut.
- Rainbow, with Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, faced a similar fate.
Contrasting Tollywood
- While Tamil cinema may be cautious about lady-oriented films, Tollywood (Telugu cinema) has a different outlook.
- Films like Mahanati and Baby shattered records with their female-centric narratives.
- Rashmika Mandanna, riding high on the success of Animal, is also part of The Girlfriend, another female-centric Telugu film.
What Lies Ahead?
- As Rashmika awaits the release of Pushpa – The Rule and gears up for a big-budget film with Prabhas, her fans wonder about the fate of Rainbow.
- Will Tollywood embrace lady-oriented films as successfully as its northern counterpart? Only time will tell.
