Rashmika fought with parents to romance Vijay Devarakonda on screen

It is known that Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna starred in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade before entering into wedlock on Feb 26, at Udaipur, Rajasthan. They will soon be seen romancing in Ranabali directed by Rahul Sankartiyan of Taxiwala fame.

In the meantime, Rashmika shared that she virtually fought with her family to romance Vijay Devarakonda on screen. Rashmika shared  “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.”

She added  “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 said “Our dear Lilly (Rashmika’s role). She is the most important character; she’s the soul, she represents every woman, and Lilly is the one who will be remembered after watching the film. We searched a lot for who could play her. 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.”
