Rashmika Mandanna decided to not object for on-screen kisses and this seems to have affected her reputation in the public. Even some say that her relationship with Rakshit Shetty.
She first kissed Vijay Devarakonda in Geetha Govindam on-screen and repeated the same, when she and Vijay re-united for Dear Comrade. The kiss scene is already quite popular from the film that people are only talking about it.
Later, the movie got a name that it is too bold and too much like Arjun Reddy, because of that scene. Actress lashed out on those baseless assumptions and asked people to not judge a movie by just that one moment.
She said, “I am not going around doing kissing scenes on screen all the time. I am a professional actress and I only did it when the scene required me to do so. Don’t judge our film by that scene!”
