Rashmika Mandanna is missing in the Teaser for 'Sarileru Neekevvaru'. This after playing super-strong roles in 'Geetha Govindam' and 'Dear Comrade'. The star actress, who is rising month after month in stature, has not got even token presence in the power-packed teaser.

Do the makers have a plan to release a character intro teaser for Rashmika? May or may not be. For now, her absence speaks volumes about the lack of prominence for female leads in star vehicles.

Rashmika plays a traditional girl who is in search of Guy 101. That's Mahesh himself, a soldier who returns to weed out the scum in the mainland.

Directed by Anil Ravipudi, this one also has Vijayashanthi, Prakash Raj, Ajay and others in its cast. It releases on January 11.
