For those who’ve followed her career, this busy slate is no surprise. Rakul’s journey began in 2009 with the Kannada film ‘Gilli’, and over the years she has built a strong presence in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema. She’s earned a SIIMA Award and has been nominated multiple times for the prestigious Filmfare Awards South.

Her Telugu hits include ‘Venkatadri Express’, ‘Loukyam’, ‘Nannaku Prematho’, and ‘Rarandoi Veduka Chudham’, while big commercial successes like ‘Pandaga Chesko’, ‘Sarrainodu’, ‘Dhruva’, and ‘Spyder’ cemented her star power. In Tamil, she made waves with ‘Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru’ and the recent ‘Ayalaan’.

Rakul’s Bollywood journey started with ‘Yaariyan’ in 2014, but it was ‘De De Pyaar De’ in 2019 that truly boosted her visibility in Hindi cinema. She’s since been part of diverse projects like ‘Runway 34’ and ‘Doctor G’.
