She is now awaiting the streaming of her upcoming film, "Lootcase". Its story revolves around a turn of events that unfolds after a middle-class man chances upon a suitcase full of cash. Rasika will be seen showcasing her comic timing in the film, which also stars Kunal Kemmu.

"Shooting for 'Lootcase' was a lot of fun. Director Rajesh Krishnan would fill the scene with many quirks and Kunal's super comic timing was a treat to play off," said Rasika.

"During the lockdown, with our short film 'Banana Bread', I felt the need to create something relatable yet light-hearted...some humour to keep us from slipping into a sense of doom and gloom. The warmth with which 'Banana Bread' was received was heartening. I am now delighted that 'Lootcase' is giving me another opportunity to bring some cheer. I think the quirkiness of the film will be a fun ride for the audience. And I can't wait to be be on that ride with them," she added.

She also has projects like "Mirzapur Season 2", "Delhi Crime Season 2" and "A Suitable Boy" in her kitty.
