Together with Allu Arjun, Rashmika reprised her role in Pushpa 2: The Rule in 2024. The film surpassed all expectations by earning over 1,742 crores worldwide and became the second most Indian movie of all time.
In 2023, she was featured in Animal alongside Indian heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, who enabled her to set her mark in Bollywood as it crossed over 500 crores in India.

Her highly anticipated film Chhaava (2025) with Vicky Kaushal is set to be another blockbuster.
Although Rashmika’s movies have always been a success, some people in the industry wonder how much she adds individually. It is suggested that her payment has been hiked from Rs 5 crore to higher.
There are reasons to believe that her box office earning potential should be more accurately represented in her payment. However, the primary issue continues to be whether Rashmika is an independent box office star or whether she is profiting from something.
