Rashmika Mandanna reacted to the statement issued by Aishwarya Rajesh clarifying her comment that she was a better fit for Srivalli in Pushpa.
Aishwarya Rajesh who is recently seen in Farhana, said in an interview that she would be a better fit than Rashmika Mandanna for the role of Srivalli in Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa. Now, Rashmika Mandanna reacted to her comment.
On Thursday, to clarify her comment, Aishwarya Rajesh released a statement in which she said that she never meant to say that she would be better suited than Rashmika as Srivalli, she just shared that such a character would suit her.
The statement issued by the actress read, “Talking about work, I was asked in a recent interview about the kind of roles I want to do in Telugu cinema. I replied that I like the Telugu film industry a lot and that I would certainly do Telugu films if I got roles that were to my liking. To cite an example, I said I liked the character of Srivalli in Pushpa a lot as I felt such characters would suit me.”
She added, “However, unfortunately, my statement seems to have been misconstrued and is being reported in such a fashion so as to give the impression that I was disparaging the fantastic work of actress Rashmika Mandanna in the film.”
Reacting to the statement, Rashmika Mandanna wrote, “Hi love.. just came across this.. the thing is - I perfectly understood what you meant and I wish there were no reasons for us to explain ourselves and as you know I only and only have love and respect for you.. and ones again all the bestest for your film Farhana love.”
Helmed by Nelson Venkatesan, Farhana also stars Jithan Ramesh, Aishwarya Dutta, and Selvaraghavan in key roles. The Tamil-language thriller film was released on May 12.
