'One Who Beat Us All' Nagarjuna Hails 'Rs 2000-3000 Cr Star'; Not SRK, Allu Arjun, Prabhas

At the recent promotional event of his upcoming film Kuberaa, Telugu superstar Nagarjuna hailed the real pan-India star of Indian cinema and according to him it’s neither Shah Rukh Khan, Allu Arjun nor Prabhas.

At the event, the superstar praised co-star Rashmika Mandanna who has been a part of several massive blockbusters in the last two years including Varisu (Rs 290 crore), Animal (Rs 917.82 crore), Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 1742 crore) and Chhaava (Rs 716.88 crore).

Praising Rashmika, Nagarjuna said, “This girl, you know, this girl is one powerhouse of talent! I mean, if you see her filmography in the last three years, just outstanding. None of us are 2000-3000 crore actors, guys. This is the one. This is the one - who beat all of us!”

He continued, “Rashmika, it was such a pleasure. I worked with you before, but this time after, I saw the dubbing, when I saw the film, I just had to call you. I called you straight from the dubbing theater. She's brilliant in the film. She's gonna make all of you laugh. Gonna make you laugh so much. She's just so brilliant. She's spontaneous. It’s something so nice about her and Rashmika, thank you for being here.”

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, Kuberaa stars Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh and Nagarjuna in the lead roles.

The film will release in theatres on June 20, 2025, in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

After Kuberaa, Rashmika’s next release is the horror-comedy Thama in the Stree universe and Telugu film The Girlfriend.
