Rashmika Mandanna opens up about her bond with Vijay Deverakonda amid engagement rumours; says, “He has supported me personally more than anyone else”

Even though Vijay Deverakonda has maintained that he is not getting married any time soon, his engagement rumours with Rashmika Mandanna continues to add fuel. The two actors, who have shared screen space in Telugu films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, have remained tight-lipped about their relationship. However, the two of them have never left an opportunity to talk about their ‘special friendship’ and recently Rashmika was seen revealing about her bond with Vijay.

In an interview with We Are Yuvaa, Rashmika Mandanna was seen explaining about her friendship with Vijay Deverakonda wherein she said “Viju and I sort of grew up together. So anything I do in my life right now, he has a contribution to it.” She went on to add that his opinion matters to her as she continued, “I take his advice in anything I do, I need his opinion. He’s not a yes person. He’s on point. This is good…this is not good…this is what I think…this is what I don’t think. He has supported me personally more than anyone else in my entire life. So, I feel he’s someone I really, really respect.”

Last month, at the start of the year, reports were abuzz with engagement rumours of the two Telugu stars. However,  in an interview with Lifestyle Asia, Vijay clarified that it is not true and he had said, “I’m not getting engaged or married in February. It feels like the press just wants to get me married every two years. I hear this rumour every year. They’re just walking around waiting to catch me and get me married.”

On the work front, Vijay Deverakonda is busy with his work commitments including two films Family Star with Mrunal Thakur and the untitled VD 12. Meanwhile, Rashmika too has an interesting lineup of films which is a mix of Bollywood and South projects, including the much-awaited Pushpa 2: The Rule, Rainbow, The Girlfriend, and the Vicky Kaushal starrer Chaava.

Two-three months is fine.’ So I am thankful to you, the audience and the whole world for making me realise that what I do is right and I need to keep doing it,” SRK told the crowd on Monday.

Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter falls prey to piracy; full movie gets leaked on torrents

According to recent reports, Fighter, which has been garnering rave reviews across, has become a victim of piracy. The film, which brings together Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for the first time on the big screen, reportedly is based on the life of Indian Air Force officers. Inspired by real life events, the Siddharth Anand directorial is heavy on aerial action and VFX, as well as it is expected to be a one-of-a-kind film which has now been leaked online.

The full movie, reportedly, is available on torrents and other websites which is expected to have released on these platforms on Day 1 of its release, that is, on January 25. From what we hear, the movie, which has been leaked, is even in high-quality HD format and it is being said that this incident can have a heavy impact on its box office collections.

Earlier in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth Anand had described the challenges he faced when he was thinking of making Fighter. He revealed that he had no background in armed forces and had sought the help of former Air Force officers to pen down this script. The director also faced many difficulties in creating aerial action sequences and he had said, “It was very challenging because it was like keeping a fish out of water. I had no idea how this is done. I just knew what I wanted to do. The how of it was a big journey. It was a journey of two years of prep, planning and extreme research, then getting the air force on board, getting them to allow us to use their airbases, choppers by giving them over 2000 storyboards, showing them how we were going to do our real and believable scenes and we can execute them. It’s been a very long process, which makes War and Pathaan look like very simple films.”

Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone playing Air Force officers, Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Sheikh, among others in key roles.

Apart from Varun Dhawan, Baby John also stars Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff. It is directed by Kalees and is backed by Atlee and Priya Atlee’s A For Apple Studios, Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. It is the remake of Atlee’s 2016 directorial Theri, starring Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson.

The film went on floors in August last year in Mumbai, followed by an extensive schedule in Kochi. As per reports, Varun suffered an injury in the Mumbai schedule. The casting is significant as Varun will be seen in an out-and-out massy action role for the first time. Meanwhile, Keerthy Suresh is a popular name even for Hindi-speaking markets and this marks her debut Bollywood film. Wamiqa Gabbi, on the other hand, went on a high in 2023 with the success of her web show Jubilee and her web film, Khufiya.

It now remains to be seen when Baby John will be released in cinemas and whether the release date will be unveiled in the teaser.

Fighter Advance Booking Update: Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone film sells 1.40 lakh tickets

Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone, and Anil Kapoor’s Fighter has recorded below-average responses in the advance bookings. The Siddharth Anand directorial is closing its advance booking with 1.40 lakh pre-sales in the top three national chains – PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, which is roughly 55% lower than films like Brahmastra and Tiger 3. The film should have ideally topped at least 2 lakh ticket sales in PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, however, it’s 30 percent lower than even the bare minimum expectations.

With this advance booking, Fighter is targeting an opening day in the zone of Rs. 22 to 24 crores, and that will also happen only if the film commands strong word of mouth and walk-in audiences towards the evening and night shows owing to the National Holiday on Day 2. The bulk business for Fighter is coming in from the national multiplex chains, and the mass audience is awaiting the talk to book their tickets.

Ideally, Fighter should have opened in the North of Rs. 35 crores, but that is not happening and one can list down multiple reasons for the same. It’s a pity that a big-budget aerial action film with top stars and top directors suffered from a very poor marketing and PR campaign and the producers need to relook at their strategies for positioning big-ticket entertainers. A film like Fighter should have easily looked at a Rs. 35 to 40 crore on day one, but there just isn’t enough awareness in the on-ground audience.

The film will be looking to showcase a big jump in collections on January 26 owing to strong word of mouth and it’s the journey from there that will decide the fate of this aerial action thriller.
