The makers of "Pushpa: The Rule" have unveiled a new poster featuring Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli, the female lead, on the occasion of her birthday today. Rashmika's character is a village belle in this period action-drama franchise headlined by Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar.

Rashmika Mandanna, one of the country's top actors, celebrates her birthday on April 5. To mark the occasion, the makers released a striking new poster of her character Srivalli from the movie "Pushpa." The poster showcases Rashmika in traditional attire, adorned with jewelry, and features a close-up shot where she intensively gazes, her fingers delicately placed around her right eye.
