Apart from the lead pair, The Girlfriend features Anu Emmanuel, Rao Ramesh, and Rohini in pivotal roles. The movie is produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi under the Geetha Arts banner, with Allu Aravind serving as the presenter.
The film’s music, composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab, has also played a major role in its success, with the soulful tracks gaining significant traction on streaming platforms and social media.
Continuing Rashmika’s successful streak
Following her recent successes across multiple industries, Rashmika’s strong performance in The Girlfriend reinforces her growing dominance in pan-Indian cinema. The film’s overseas success further strengthens her brand as the “National Crush” who continues to charm audiences beyond borders.
