Rashmika Mandanna is going great guns in her acting career with a handful of films both in Telugu and Kannada. After the stupendous success of ‘Chalo’ and ‘Geetha Govindam’, the 22-year-old Karnataka beauty delivered her hat-trick hit in Tollywood with the multi-starrer ‘Devadas’. Currently, she is playing the female lead opposite Vijay Deverakonda for the second time in ‘

Dear Comrade

’ and is all set for a big

Kollywood

debut opposite Karthi.

The teaser of the romantic-drama ‘Dear Comrade’ was unveiled a week ago to a fantastic response from netizens. However, Rashmika has been subjected to some intense

trolling

by a sector of fans on social media due to her passionate

lip-lock

with Vijay towards the end of the teaser.

To end this unwanted

controversy

circulating on the internet, Rashmika Mandanna opened up on the issue and clarified it in a dignified way. She said “The particular scene in the film demanded it and I should do justice to my role. No movie should be judged solely on the basis of a lip-lock scene. It should be seen as a whole."

This is the second lip-lock between both these actors with the first one being in

Geetha Govindham

. Directed by Bharat Kamma, 'Dear Comrade' will release in May.
