Rashmika Mandanna has reportedly been finalised to play legendary Carnatic vocalist MS Subbulakshmi in an upcoming biopic, according to multiple reports. The project is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and produced by Rockline Venkatesh, Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas. Odishatv.in reports that the makers could officially announce the film on September 16, which marks Subbulakshmi's birth anniversary, revealing the title, full cast and crew.
Earlier reports had linked Sai Pallavi and Rukmini Vasanth to the role. Tracktollywood.com notes that Pallavi was initially considered but reportedly stepped away due to date clashes, while Rashmika has now emerged as the frontrunner after look tests. Subbulakshmi, a Bharat Ratna awardee, was the first Indian to perform at the UN General Assembly in 1966. The biopic aims to introduce her legacy to a new generation.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both odishatv.in and tracktollywood.com report the casting as unconfirmed speculation, with no official word from the makers. Odishatv.in frames the story as a long-running casting saga that may conclude on September 16, while tracktollywood.com emphasises the transformative career opportunity for Rashmika Mandanna. Neither source verifies the claim independently. The September 16 announcement date, if it materialises, will settle the question.
