Actress Rashmika Mandanna, hailing from Bengaluru, has been a busy lady in the South, having acted in back-to-back multilingual films. With her impending Bollywood debut, Rashmika also gains a lot of notoriety up north. Rashmika has topped Forbes India’s list of the most influential actors, surpassing Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha, and Yash.

Rashmika Mandanna, who plays lead roles in Telugu and Kannada films, has amassed a substantial number of followers on her social media profiles and is ranked as one of the ‘most influential actors.’ She presently has over 22 million Instagram fans, which is a huge following. In terms of her career, she will star alongside Sidharth Malhotra in the Bollywood flick Mission Majnu.

Second on the list is Vijay Deverakonda, who rose to prominence with the films Arjun Reddy and Pelli Choopulu, followed by Yash, the most attractive and gorgeous man in Kannada. Next up for Vijay is the much awaited movie Liger, while fans of Yash are looking forward to KGF: Chapter 2’s release. Allu Arjun comes in second on this list, after Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

The average number of followers, likes, comments, engagement rate, average video views, and follower count on the celebrities’ social media pages are the criteria taken into consideration. The ‘Qoruz Score,’ which is an out of 10 representation of this effect, is used to compute it. Vijay Deverakonda scored 9.67, while Rashmika had a score of 9.88. Yash had a score of 9.54, Samantha received a score of 9.49, and Allu Arjun achieved a 9.46.
