National Crush Rashmika Mandanna is all set to steal hearts once again with her powerful performance in The Girlfriend, an emotional and intense love story directed by Rahul Ravindran. The film, presented by ace producer Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment, stars Rashmika alongside talented actor Dheekshith Shetty. Produced by Vidya Koppineedi and Dheeraj Mogilineni, this passionate love drama will hit theaters worldwide on November 7 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
At the grand trailer launch event in Hyderabad, the entire team expressed excitement and confidence about the film’s emotional depth and relatable storytelling. Director Rahul Ravindran shared that The Girlfriend was inspired by his own hostel life experiences and that the story would deeply connect with everyone who has ever loved or been in a relationship. He praised Rashmika and Dheekshith for their heartfelt performances, calling them the soul of the film.
Producers Vidya Koppineedi and Dheeraj Mogilineni revealed how special the project is to them. Dheeraj praised Rashmika for her dedication, sharing that she agreed to take her remuneration only after the film was completed — a rare gesture of trust and passion. He said The Girlfriend would remain one of the most memorable films of his career and predicted a bright future for Dheekshith in Tollywood.
Producer Bunny Vas, who already watched the film, said the last 30 minutes of The Girlfriend are unforgettable. He called Rashmika “the pride of Geetha Arts” and appreciated Dheekshith’s impressive acting. He humorously warned boys to “be careful watching it with their girlfriends,” saying the story would strongly connect with women.
Actor Dheekshith Shetty expressed gratitude for being part of such a powerful film, saying the story haunted him from the moment he heard it. He described his character Vikram as intense and complex, promising audiences a mix of love and hate for him on-screen.
Producer SKN praised Rashmika’s simplicity, commitment, and unstoppable career, saying she’s ruling hearts with upcoming blockbusters like Pushpa 2, Animal, and Thamma. He also predicted The Girlfriend would be another major success for Geetha Arts.
Rashmika Mandanna said she instantly connected with the story and her character Bhooma, calling it a love story that feels real and relatable. She said The Girlfriend is not just another film but an emotional journey that will stay with audiences long after they leave the theater.
Producer Allu Aravind revealed that Rahul Ravindran first pitched the story as a web series for Aha, but he felt it deserved a theatrical experience. He described Rashmika’s character as one of the most intense female roles in recent cinema and confidently stated, “Rashmika will win Best Actor awards for this performance.” He also praised Dheekshith’s natural acting and hinted that Vijay Deverakonda would attend the film’s pre-release event as the chief guest.
With soulful music by Hesham Abdul Wahab, stunning visuals by cinematographer Krishnan Vasant, and heartfelt storytelling by Rahul Ravindran, The Girlfriend promises to be one of 2025’s most emotional and talked-about romantic dramas.
Release Date: November 7, 2025.
The Girlfriend is a must-watch for every romantic soul — a story of love, intensity, and emotions that promises to touch hearts across languages and generations.
