After much hard work, Karnika made her Bollywood debut with
the feature film "Shubh Ratri." Following this, she appeared in
Hathoda Singh, Jackie Bhai, and South Indian films, where she worked with stars
like Ravi Teja, Nani, and Kalyan Ram. Her performance in the film "Love Is
Forever," released in January 2025, earned her new recognition.
Now, Karnika Mandal is playing the lead role in her most important pan-India film, "Yana." Based on the backdrop of 1840, this historical-biopic film depicts the legacy of Sanatan Dharma. In it, Karnika is playing two challenging roles—a mother and a daughter. Seeing her impressive performance, Soft Touch Entertainment has offered her a contract for two more films.
The film's star cast includes Ganesh Yadav, Avtar Gill,
Pradeep Kabra, Pankaj Berry, Ashish Singh, Arya Babbar, and South Indian cinema
veterans Suman Talwar and Jagapathi Babu. Mahesh Manjrekar will also be seen in
a special appearance. Rahul B. Kumar will have a cameo role. Rahul B. Kumar
made a distinct mark among the audience with his powerful action and emotional
acting in the film Love Is Forever, released in 2025. The director of the film
Yana is Mr. R. Prajapati, and the writer is Rahul Prajapati, while the
screenplay and dialogues are written by Pinku Dubey and Sonu Dandoria. The
music has been composed by Dev Chauhan, and the action direction has been
handled by Mukesh Rathore. The film's song "Mahakal" is already
creating a buzz even before its release.
Karnika Mandal is consistently progressing with her talent,
dedication, and honest acting. It is believed that she will emerge as one of
the most influential rising actresses in the Indian film industry by 2026.
"Yana" will not only provide entertainment but will also showcase the
glory and dignity of Indian culture on the big screen.
