Income Tax raid at Rashmika Mandanna’s residence.

Income Tax officials on Thursday conducted a raid at the residence of actor Rashmika Mandanna in Virajpet, Kodagu district of Karnataka. According to a report, a search-and-seizure operation is currently underway at the actor’s residence. She is yet to officially comment on the raid.

A team of Income Tax officials from Bengaluru landed up at the house at around 7.30 am. There is no information about whether Rashmika is in the house or not, as per the report.

This comes after rumors that Rashmika is the highest-paid leading lady in the South. However, when asked about the same, she vociferously denied it, saying that she was “just taking baby steps” in films and was definitely not the highest-paid actress.

Rashmika, who rose to fame with the Kannada film Kirik Party, was recently seen in Mahesh Babu’s Telugu film Sarileru Neekevvaru. Tipped to be the most sought-after actor in South India currently, she has an interesting line-up of projects in her kitty, including a film with Allu Arjun and Tamil star Vijay.
