When Rishab Shetty REFUSED To Acknowledge Rashmika Mandanna Over Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sai Pallavi
Rishab Shetty once chose Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sai Pallavi as his preference for his next project.

Last year, in an interview that went viral, Rashmika mentioned her first film but did not take did not mention the production house’s name, Paramvah Studios, nor Rishab’s name, who directed the film. The actress was trolled for the same. In the same year, when Rishab Shetty was asked to select one among South actresses as her favourite, he was not hesitant to choose Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sai Pallavi over Rashmika Mandanna.

During an interview with Guite, Rishab Shetty shared who he wants to work with in his next project, “I decide my actors once I finish my script. I prefer working with newcomers as they come with no barriers… These actors on your list, I don’t like them. But, I like the work of Sai Pallavi and Samantha. They are true artistes and some of the best and finest performers we have,” he shared.

He then praised the actresses and called them true artists. He also highlighted that they are one of the finest performers in recent times, without mentioning Rashmika Mandanna.

For those unaware of what caused such a reaction from Rishab Shetty, in a previous interview with Curly Tales, she revealed that acting wasn’t her first choice.

Elaborating on the same, Rashmika shared that she had won the title of Fresh Face. “I said okay to the competition as one of my teachers came and told me. I took part and we had state-level competition, and national-level competition and then I ended up getting the title.” She then shared that they put her name and photo on the front page of The Times of India.

Rashmika added saying after this, she got a call from a production house and thought it was a prank call. She also shed light on the whole process of bagging the role in her debut film. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the actress air-quoted the production house and refrained from naming it. And, the production house was Paramvah Studios, co-founded by Rakshit Shetty, a dear friend of Rishab Shetty.

In fact, Rashmika Mandanna made her acting debut with Kirik Party, directed by Rishab Shetty, in 2016.
