Rashmika Mandanna Fought With Family For A Second Film With Vijay Deverakonda
At a pre-release event for Dear Comrade, Rashmika Mandanna revealed, "I came to the film industry after fighting with my parents, family and friends. There's a perception that it's not safe for girls. I still persevered despite not having a film family background. When Bharat (Kamma) sir sent me the script, I really wanted to do it. But it took a lot to convince my family. It was a bad fight at home. They said, no, don't do a second film with Vijay. I said, it's not important who I'm doing it with."
Vijay Deverakonda had shared, "Once Rashmika okayed it, I know how tough it was for her. She did it despite it affecting her personal life. People said whatever they felt like. But she gave her life for Lilly. I thank you, Rashmika; you've done such a beautiful job."
