It is a happy Sunday for all Rashmika Mandanna fans. The actress has announced her upcoming project – The Girlfriend — on Instagram. It is also Rashmika's 24th film. The clip opens to a voiceover, “I love her so much that she doesn't need friends, family or anyone else. I am all she needs. I want her to be with me all the time. To have a girl I can call ‘mine' is a different high.” We also get a glimpse of Rashmika's character, who is holding her breath underwater. She carries a tense look and runs out of breath at one point. The Girlfriend is written and directed by Rahul Ravindran. The movie is bankrolled by Sreenivasa Kumar Naidu, Vidya Koppineedi and Dheeraj Mogilineni. It is presented by Allu Arvind under the Geetha Arts banner. Sharing the video, Rashmika Mandanna wrote, “The world is full of great love stories. But there are those few love stories that haven't been heard or seen before. And ‘The Girlfriend' is one such. #RM24.” The film is expected to go on the floors soon.
