Now that Andarivadu has been released, and the trade talk has been by and large positive. The family-humour mix seems to have gone down well with the public.

Of course, Chiranjeevi has walked away with all the plaudits as it has been his show all the way.

But the one who comes close to him in getting the spotlight is none other than Rakshita.

Supposedly the third heroine of the film, Rakshita has easily outperformed the likes of Tabu and Rimmi, the two heroines in the film.

Rakshita, it may be recalled, walked into the film only at the last moment. But she seems to have grabbed the opportunity with both the hands. She has played the 'other interest' of the father Chiru with rare felicity.

It is not an easy role to role, considering the connotations that go with it. But the young actress, hailing from Karnataka, has shown nice understanding in playing a difficult character.

Of course, she has done wonderfully well in the dances with Chiru. And that is saying a lot.

The buxom actress is naturally satisfied with the outcome. "The fact that I have acted with Chiru itself is satisfying," she says with disarming innocence.

She also has a couple of offers in Telugu (Including Jagapati where she plays the first heroine). Now she thinks with the momentum given by Andarivadu, her career will gather more steam.
