Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are busy promoting Ranabaali. In a candid conversation with Karan Johar in Koffee with Karan, Rashmika and Vijay were quizzed about Janhvi Kapoor’s role and her controversial skin show in Peddi and how she would deal with such.
Rashmika said she will not do something that is not comfortable and added that she takes Vijju’s ( Vijay’s ) advise when she was asked to wear any uncomfortable clothes for a commercial film.
Rashmika admits certain commercial films do require actresses to wear certain skin revealing clothes and she said directors wants actresses to do wear such clothes and do skin show. Vijay Deverakonda intervenes and says it’s okay to say no. Vijay says actresses should put down foot and stick to say no when they wanted to. He said actresses need strong support system in such challenging situations.
Rashmika says she is quite aware of the requirements of certain characters and she says they should muster courage and asks questions to filmmakers and clarify their doubts beforehand. She says there is nothing wrong in asking questions and doubts. Vijay says actresses need not do what they are not comfortable. But in some cases, they fear being seen as unprofessional, so they approach things pessimistically. After the release, however, they turn out to be negative.
It is interesting to see how fans and audiences react to the controversial Janhvi Kapoor episode from Peddi, which shook the film industry across the nation.
