Rashmika Mandanna reacted to the criticism she received for her dialogue delivery in a particular portion of the nine-minute long Karwa Chautha scene in Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal.
When the trailer of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal dropped online, Rashmika Mandanna’s dialogue delivery in one of the scenes in it gave rise to numerous memes and funny reels on social media. Recently, when the ‘Dear Comrade’ actress graced Neha Dhupia’s popular chat show ‘No Filter Neha’, she opened up on her brutal trolling for that sequence.
Rashmika told Neha, “The Karwa Chauth scene which was a nine-minute long scene and while doing the scene, people on the set loved it. They were clapping and felt it was done so well. But the trailer came out and I was trolled so much for that one particular dialogue from the same scene.”
Elaborating on how all the pre-release criticism made her question her acting skills, the actress continued, “So I thought, I did the 9-minute long scene and everyone on the set liked it, but people now are trolling me for the same. So am I living in a bubble? Are people not gonna like this scene? Because you know what you’ve shot, but people don’t know. People just know that those 10 seconds.”
She added, ” So I don’t want to ever be in my life where I’m living in a bubble. I need to be on the ground. I need to talk to people. I need to know what’s really going on.”
In the same conversation, Rashmika also reacted to Animal being termed as a ‘misogynist’ film. The actress opined that Animal was ‘just about a character’ who’s ‘messed in the head.’
She explained, “He’s messed in the head and will go to any lengths for his father, that was engraved in my mind when I shot for the film. Nobody can do anything about it, it’s his story. If you want films to be raw, real and correct, Animal is that. After watching it, to say it’s misogynistic or whatever…if you enjoyed it, just leave it.”
On the work front, Rashmika will next be seen in Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rule. She also has a Telugu film titled Rainbow and a Hindi film, Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava in the pipeline.
