The actress, who recently made her Bollywood debut with Goodbye, appears to be in deep trouble again due to her recent remarks during the promotional interviews for the Vikas Bahl-directed movie.
Rashmika may be banned from the Kannada film industry, according to a report, for being "ungrateful" to the production company run by actor-producer Rakshit Shetty, who provided the actress her breakthrough role. During a recent media event, the actress talked extensively about her journey to becoming an actress.
She avoided mentioning the name of the production company Paramvah Studios, co-founded by Rakshit Shetty, her ex-fiance when discussing how she never intended to be an actor and how she received her big break with Kirik Party and became an instant success. This infuriated some people on the internet. For those who were clueless, Rashmika and Rakshit were dating. Even though they were engaged, the couple broke it off for reasons only they could understand.
Rishab Shetty of Kantara fame, which is good friends with Rakshit and oversaw the Kirik Party, recently rejected a question about collaborating with Rashmika Mandanna. Rishab was asked to choose an actor from Rashmika, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Keerthy Suresh, and Sai Pallavi to work on his project during an interview. Rishab stated, "I don't like such (makes the sign of the air quotes) types of actors," without mentioning any specific names. But I like what Sai Pallavi and Samantha Ji do.
They might even consider suing her by pulling her subsequent films, Pushpa 2 and Varisu, forcibly from theatres in Karnataka. Internet users are divided over a similar tweet that went viral on social media. However, we are unable to confirm the accuracy of the tweet.
Rashmika is currently busy at work filming Pushpa: The Rule, a movie that also stars Fahadh Faasil and Allu Arjun. She also shares Thalapathy Vijay with Varisu.
