Mumbai, Aug 15 :  Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who swayed the nation as Srivalli in the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise, is celebrating the fifth anniversary of her Telugu superhit film Geetha Govindam.

She said that she feels overwhelmed when even today she is often addressed as Geetha madam owing to her performance.

The actress was paired opposite Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda in the film which was helmed by Parasuram.The song Inkem Inkem Kavale from the film was a chartbuster.

Expressing gratitude, Rashmika said: "Its already been 5 years? Wow.I still cant believe it.Thank you everyone for accepting our film and showering it with so much love.Till date Ive been called Geetha madam.

It feels so amazing and I am extremely grateful."

In the film, Rashmika and Vijay portrayed the characters who eventually fall in love after a series of accidents that dont really go in their favour.

She further mentioned: "And of course it wouldnt have been possible without my co-star Vijay and I am forever extremely grateful to Parasuram sir and the Geetha arts team for giving me and trusting me with the character of Geetha.Thank you."

The family entertainer is one of the biggest hits of both the lead actors careers, and still continues to entertain audiences all along.It also helped Rashmika carve a niche for herself in the Telugu markets.
