Rashmika Mandanna is undoubtedly one of the most successful actresses. Apart from South movies, Rashoo has reached new heights of success in the Hindi Film Industry. After blockbusters such as Animal and Pushpa 2 and Chhaava, reports were abuzz that Vanga was considering Rashmika as the lady lead for Spirit.

However, the latest report suggests that following the commercial failure of Sikandar with Salman Khan in the lead, Rashmika is no longer running for the role in Vanga's Spirit.

Reportedly, one commercial failure was enough to reconsider Rashoo's casting. Further, the report states that if Rashmika had been cast in the role, she would have received Rs 4 crore as remuneration.
