Rashmika Mandanna is one of the crazy heroines down South. She has recently scored a couple of hits with ‘Sarileru Neekevvaru’ and ‘Bheeshma’.
Whenever she is asked about her favourite hero, she takes up the names like Tamil star hero Vijay etc but not our Devarakonda.
When she is asked about the her favourite co-star, she comes up with different names but she is not taking the name of Vijay Deverakonda.
It is known that Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika Mandanna pair has superb onscreen chemistry and it is the highlight in their films.
In fact, ‘Geetha Govindam’ success made them hot pair. But the magic did not work for ‘Dear Comrade’ at the box office. Their sparkling chemistry always grabs the attention. Both of them are friends and there are rumours regarding their relationship.
Rashmika is consciously not taking the name of Vijay Deverakonda because she tries to downplay their friendship, says a source.
Rashmika may not get offers in other star hero films if she is continuously linked with Vijay Deverakonda films and rumours.
By downplaying the friendship with Vijay D and talking about other star heroes, she is projecting herself as a heroine who is ready to work with other stars not just Vijay Deverakonda.
The seniors in the industry are saying that this is indeed wise strategy from Rashmika to climb the ladder of stardom as a heroine.
On the professional front, she is the heroine for the upcoming Allu Arjun’s film ‘Pushpa’.
