Rashmika wants variety

Actress explains how she chooses her characters and the challenge she wants

- 

Actress Rashmika Mandanna says she was looking for roles that would take her into uncharted territory as a performer and found one in Tadaka, a vampire-like figure she plays in Thamma.

Mandanna — star of blockbusters such as Geetha Govindam, Dear Comrade, Pushpa, Sita Ramam and Animal - features opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in the movie, which is the fifth entry in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe (MHCU). It was released in theatres on Diwali and has so far earned over Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office.

"I wanted to do characters which are not just variety in emotions and performances but variety in personalities as well.
