Rashmika Mandanna shares dance video of song she couldn't perform to during IPL gig

The IPL 2023 opening ceremony was a star-studded affair. The host for the evening, Mandira Bedi introduced Arijit Singh and welcomed him on the stage. He entertained the audience at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with his chartbuster songs. Later, Tamannaah Bhatia and Rashmika Mandanna got the crowd grooving with their dance moves. While the Pushpa actress performed on her hit tracks, she shared a video from her vanity van and revealed the track that could not make it to her list. 

Taking to her Twitter handle, Rashmika dropped a dance video with the caption, "Doneee with the performanceeee at IPL and what a blasttt it was. I wanted to perform on this as well today but I couldn’t so here’s a lil gift for all of you who have been asking for it… P.S. My entire IPL journey coming out sooooon."

In the video, the Mission Majnu star wore a golden blouse with heavy embellishment and paired it with a blue skirt with golden detailing. The Telugu actress opted for contrasting jewellery and tied her hair in a ponytail. At the IPL opening ceremony, Rashmika performed to her popular songs including Srivalli and Saami Saami from Pushpa. However, the highlight of the show was her performing on the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu from RRR and Dholida from Gangubai Kathiawadi.
