Speaking about the importance of taking opportunities when they arrive, Rashmika reflected on the courage and persistence required to build a career.

Her message is particularly aimed at aspiring young performers who may have talent but are still waiting for an opportunity to showcase it on a larger platform.

‘A first-of-its-kind opportunity in India’

Who can apply for HYBE India auditions?

The HYBE India Audition: Final Call is focused on finding female talent with the potential to develop into global performers.

The audition is open to Indian female participants born between 2005 and 2011.

Unlike an audition focused exclusively on singing, the initiative covers several areas of performance. Applicants can showcase their abilities in vocals, rap, dance, acting or modelling.

The latest search builds on the first phase of the initiative and widens HYBE INDIA’s effort to identify promising talent from across the country.

What is HYBE INDIA?

Based in Mumbai, HYBE INDIA operates as a strategic global office of HYBE and aims to connect India’s rapidly expanding creative ecosystem with the company’s international capabilities.

Its operations draw on HYBE’s experience across talent discovery, artist development, content production, music, platforms and IP.

The larger objective is to discover Indian talent that can be developed for audiences beyond the domestic market while retaining a strong connection to India’s creative landscape.

Rashmika’s involvement gives the initiative a familiar face for aspiring performers across the country. Having built a career across multiple Indian film industries herself, the actor’s message centres on a simple idea a major journey can begin when talent meets the right opportunity.

Rashmika Mandanna’s latest film

On the work front, Rashmika Mandanna was last seen in the romantic comedy Cocktail 2, alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.

Her association with HYBE INDIA now puts her at the centre of an initiative focused not on her own screen career, but on helping discover performers who could potentially become part of the next generation of Indian talent on the global stage.

For thousands of young aspirants dreaming of music, dance, acting or modelling, HYBE INDIA’s latest audition could offer precisely the kind of first step Rashmika spoke about.
