Rashmika Mandanna looked dazzling at the launch of her upcoming film, a biopic on legendary Carnatic vocalist M.S. Subbulakshmi. She wore a stunning blue silk saree that embodied classic elegance. Sporting a rich and vibrant shade of traditional blue, her saree had fine silk with an authentic drape. Adding to her vintage appeal, she kept accessories minimal with classic Indian jewellery that looked fitting for the event.
Rashmika recites Subbulakshmi’s devotional track
While Rashmika thanked the filmmakers for the opportunity to be part of such a prestigious film, what caught everyone’s attention was how she demonstrated her respect for the legendary singer. When Kamal Haasan sounded the clapboard for the first scene, Rashmika recited the famous devotional track, Bhagyada Lakshmi Baramma. Subbulakshmi, along with her daughter and accompanist Radha Viswanathan, recorded this timeless and widely cherished rendition of this prayer dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi. The crowd (as a chorus) also joined her for the act.
Music empress
Kamal Haasan, who attended the event as the guest of honour, described Subbulakshmi as ‘the musical empress who united India through her voice.’ No matter which language she sang in, Amma (Subbulakshmi) elevated its beauty through her music. That is the timeless message her music has given all of us.”
