The actress from 'Pushpa' has joined the cast of Ranbir Kapoor's crime drama 'Animal.' Sandeep Reddy Vanga of 'Kabir Singh' fame is directing the project, which is bankrolled by T-Series.

T-series shared the big news on its official Twitter account.”On the auspicious occasion of Ugadi & Gudi Padwa, we welcome @iamRashmika to the team of #Animal! Shooting begins this summer,” the tweet read.

Rashmika, who was most recently seen in Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa,' shared the same picture on her Instagram Stories. "A good day begins with good news," she wrote alongside the post.

The plot of the film has been kept under wraps.

Rashmika has reportedly replaced Parineeti Chopra, who left the project for Imtiaz Ali's much-touted 'Chamkila.'

The film, starring Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol, will be released in theatres on August 11, 2023.

Rashmika Mandanna, who is well-known in the South Indian film industry, will make her Bollywood debut in 'Mission Majnu,' alongside Sidharth Malhotra, and will also appear in Amitabh Bachchan's upcoming film 'Goodbye.'
