Tollywood often brings in new faces, and social media star Niharika NM is the most recent to make her debut. With her strong online presence, Niharika makes her entry with the female lead role of the upcoming movie Mithra Mandali, which is produced by Bunny Vas. The movie also includes young actors Vishnu, Priyadarshi, Rag Mayur, and Prasad Behara, and is directed by Vijayendra. The just-released teaser has caught a good buzz, and the audience is responding well.
At the teaser launch event, veteran producer Allu Aravind caught everyone’s attention with his amusing comments about Niharika, which soon went viral. He stated that when Bunny Vas presented him with pictures of prospective heroines, he pointed directly towards Niharika’s photo and said she was the ideal choice for the film.. When asked how he knew her, Aravind shared that he follows her on Instagram—but interestingly, from a fake ID. This revelation made everyone laugh, and someone even joked that it was not a fake ID but his personal one.
Allu Aravind further explained that he uses a fake ID because if he followed her from his official account, fans would notice, and he wouldn’t be able to freely browse or comment. He said that’s how he got to know Niharika’s active presence on Instagram. Responding to this, Niharika expressed her gratitude to Allu Aravind for selecting her and giving her an important opportunity. Though she has appeared in a few previous projects, Mithra Mandali is her official debut as a lead actress. Now, the audience eagerly awaits to see how she performs in this role.
