Rashmika to present at Global Anime Awards

Rashmika Mandanna is set to return as a presenter at the 10th Global Anime Awards, scheduled to take place in Tokyo on May 23.

The actor previously made history in 2024 as the first Indian to present at the awards ceremony, which recognises excellence in anime across multiple categories. This year, she will join an international lineup of presenters, including global music star The Weeknd.

Her participation is being seen as a significant moment for Indian representation on a global platform that celebrates anime’s growing cultural influence. Industry observers say the pairing of Mandanna and The Weeknd on stage is likely to draw strong global interest, bringing together audiences from both film and music spheres.

Mandanna has often spoken about her appreciation for anime, citing its storytelling depth and emotional range. Her continued association with the event reflects not only personal interest but also the increasing crossover between global entertainment industries.
