Rashmika Mandanna, the talented actress who rose to fame with her debut opposite Rakshit Shetty, is now facing a brewing controversy in Karnataka. Her recent comments have not only triggered the ire of her fans but have also led to speculations about a potential ban on her movies in the state.
Disrespecting Roots: The Triggering Interview
