‘Goodbye’ stars Rashmika Mandanna as Tara Bhalla, a young lawyer who returns home after her mother’s death.

‘Animal’ casts Rashmika Mandanna as Geetanjali, the wife of Ranvijay, played by Ranbir Kapoor. The film follows the son of a powerful industrialist who returns home and launches a violent revenge mission after threats to his father.
