About The Girlfriend

Apart from the lead cast, the movie also stars Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini. The film is about a fairy tale love story between a couple, which turns toxic due to the character of Dheekshith being aggressive. The film received positive word-of-mouth reviews upon release and performed well in theatres. Rashmika's performance in particular drew a lot of praise.

Rashmika talked about the journey of making the film in a heartfelt Instagram post, and said, “When Rahul first narrated this script to me, I remember tearing up.. there were so many moments that pinched my heart in ways I couldn’t explain. I kept thinking.. wait, I know this feeling..I’ve felt this before.. I don’t know how we don’t see these things when it’s all happening.. And what moved me even more was that these words, these emotions, were coming from a man. Things that most people wouldn’t even understand.. he did…”

“Bhooma for me is THE MOST SPECIAL because that’s mostly me… I’ve understood myself a little more while playing her..every day, Rahul would explain a scene, and somehow, I’d just know what he meant no follow-up needed.. My heart is full of love, pride, and happiness.. I just wish you feel what we felt while making this film,” she added.
