Did you know Rashmika Mandanna initially felt scared around Vijay Deverakonda?

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are one of the highly rumoured couples in the film industry, but did you know that Rashmika Mandann initially felt nervous and scared around her co-star Vijay Deverakonda during the filming of 'Geetha Govindam'. Despite her fears of new interactions, she soon found Vijay to be approachable and easygoing, which helped her overcome her initial nervousness.
Over time, as they worked together, Rashmika discovered that Vijay's chill attitude made him easy to work with and their friendship grew with each project into having a deep connection.

During an interview with The News Minute, Rashmika conveyed that she initially felt scared during the shoot with him, as she tends to be wary of new people. However, she found Vijay to be very relaxed, making it easy to collaborate. She mentioned that shooting for the film became simpler as she was familiar with his mannerisms and energy, requiring little effort to synchronize, given their long standing friendship. Rashmika said, "Shooting for this film was easier as I knew his frequency, his vibe, and it was easy to match up to it - I didn't even have to try, as we've been friends for quite a long time now. Our characters rub off on each other and the best part about our friendship is that I don't have to try hard to understand the guy."
As their careers progressed, rumours about their relationship began to circulate, fueled by their chemistry and frequent vacations together. Although they often travelled to the same destinations, they cleverly managed to avoid being photographed together, which only sparked further curiosity among their fans.

Despite persistent rumours and fan theories about engagements and secret weddings, both Vijay and Rashmika have consistently maintained that they are just friends.
Though the duo are one of the most beloved pairs in the Indian film industry, whether they are more than friends or not remains a topic of discussion among fans.
Today, Vijay Deverakonda celebrates his 35th birthday and will be also revealing updates about his upcoming films.
