Rashmika Mandanna on Vijay Deverakonda's performance

After the big release, Rashmika Mandanna has spoken about how Vijay transformed himself for the titular role in Ranabaali. According to the actor, the character was markedly different from the person she knew off-screen.

She explained, "Even on set, when I would speak to him off shooting, there’s one sense of Ranabaali. I’m like, where is Viju? You know? It took me time, but I understood with what gravitas he’s performing, at what level he’s performing it. When you do some characters, they just consume you fully. Every cell of you feels those emotions, that performance. So, I watched all that. This was a very new experience for me."
