Actress Rashmika Mandanna has showered praise on Tapaswini Poonacha, the Kodagu-born actress who is earning recognition for her performance in the Kannada film Premada Oorali. Rashmika congratulated the film’s team on its success and wished Tapaswini the very best for her future in cinema.
The film, which has reportedly been made on a budget of around Rs 2 crore and is heading towards Rs 50 crore in earnings, has attracted attention for its performance at the box office. After finding an audience in Kannada, Premada Oorali has now been released in Telugu, marking another step in its journey.
Rashmika took to her Instagram Stories to express her happiness at seeing a fellow Kodagu native make a mark in the film industry.
“Coming from Coorg and making a film, and seeing your film do so well in theatres, makes me so proud. Lots of love and hugs to my beautiful girl. This is just the beginning. I wholeheartedly wish for all your dreams to come true,” Rashmika wrote.
Her message has drawn attention to Tapaswini’s growing recognition and the support she has received from one of the most prominent actresses in Indian cinema.
Tapaswini was quick to respond to Rashmika’s heartfelt words. Reposting the message on her Instagram Stories, she expressed her happiness and gratitude.
“My goddess, Rashmika. Hearing these words from you makes me so happy. My day has been made,” Tapaswini wrote.
Rashmika’s appreciation is particularly meaningful for Tapaswini, who is building her career in the Kannada film industry. The recognition from an established actress is expected to encourage the young performer as she looks to expand her reach among audiences.
With Premada Oorali now available in Telugu as well, Tapaswini’s performance is gaining attention beyond its original-language audience. Rashmika’s message has added another talking point to the film’s growing buzz.
