Look what Rashmika Mandanna has to say about working with Big B and Allu Arjun

Rashmika is gearing up for the release of her Bollywood debut 'Goodbye'. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Neena Gupta and others. During the trailer launch of the film on Tuesday, the actor revealed the experience of working with Big B and Allu Arjun and also spilled beans about her first interaction with the veteran actor.

The trailer of her most awaited film 'Goodbye' starring Amitabh Bachchan was released! While the trailer looks very promising and the bond between Rashmika and Amitabh was surreal, there is a clip of her talking about BIG B in a media interaction. Rashmika said, " We started shooting on my birthday and I met him for the first time then. I remember this day very clearly as I was waiting for him since I wanted to say hey. While I was standing in the corner, he crossed me and he went away".


She added, " I wanted to introduce myself but of course, sir was busy thinking about the scene and what to do and not to do". But finally, I introduced myself and took a breath.

The 'Sita Ramam' actor revealed that she later went in, quickly introduced herself saying, "Hey sir, I am Rashmika and I will be playing your daughter", then found her exit.

Rashmika shared her excitement and feelings when Amitabh tweeted about her. She found herself to be out of words when this happened. "One day I entered the sets and everybody was like "Did you check your tweeter?' and when I did, I saw that Bachchan sir had posted a picture saying Pushpa".

Rashmika also responded to the question when asked about working with two big A's- Amitabh in 'GoodBye' and Allu Arjun in 'Pushpa 2'. She said, "I am living my dream of working with two icons of Indian cinema."

Meanwhile, Rashmika will also be seen in 'Mission Majnu' alongside Sidharth Malhotra and in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next 'Animal' opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

The 8-hour rebellion: Deepika Padukone walked off a blockbuster and lit a fire under Bollywood’s toxic work culture

It didn’t take a walkout on a picket line or a fiery press conference to shake the Indian film industry; it took Deepika Padukone quietly demanding, “Eight hours.” No dramatic monologue or sensational tweets. Just a simple request: humane hours, overtime pay, and a refusal to push her body and mind past the brink. And just like that, the conversation in Bollywood cracked wide open.

In an industry that glorifies overnight shoots, delayed pack-ups, and “dedication” measured in sweat, Padukone’s decision to exit a high-profile film, Spirit, over her demand for an eight-hour workday was certainly a career move for her. But beyond that, it was a cultural revolt.
