Rashmika Mandanna recently attended the song launch of Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum from the much-anticipated film Kuberaa, where she spoke about her role in the movie being unlike any she has played before. Known for portraying diverse characters in her career, Rashmika described her new role as exciting and very different from her previous ones. “Somedays you have to be Geetanjali, somedays you will have to be Srivalli, somedays you have to be Maharani Yesubai. Yes, and somedays you have to be her (role in Kuberaa),” she shared, hinting at the wide range of characters she embraces.
When asked if she could reveal more about her character or whether she had played a similar role before, Rashmika was careful to keep the details under wraps. “No, you haven’t seen me in this avatar before,” she said. She added that her approach to acting involves fully surrendering to the director’s vision, which allows her to explore a variety of roles that showcase different facets of her talent. “Each director has their own flavor, and that is how I get to play such a variety of roles. She is extremely different, and I cannot reveal too much, but she will be a very exciting and unique character,” Rashmika explained.
Rashmika also commented on the song Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum, describing it as a refreshing take on heartbreak. Unlike typical sad songs that often focus on the male perspective, this track offers a fun and relatable female viewpoint on the experience of heartbreak. “We are generally happy to get songs where a guy is heartbroken and stuff, but this is the female perspective—a fun take on a heartbreak song,” she said, highlighting the song’s unique charm.
