While everyone is aware of the phenomenal response to the film Geetha Govindham, not many know the lead actress Rashmika was scared about shooting with the reel Arjun Reddy. Yes, you read that right!

In a throwback interview with The News Minute, the Animal actress said that she was initially scared of Vijay. However, with time and because of his chill attitude, she was able to bond with him eventually.

Rashmika said, "I was scared when I first shot with him (Vijay Deverakonda), as I'm scared of new people. But then, Vijay is a very chill fellow, and I found it easy to work with him.” She added that shooting for the film was a bit easier as she knew his “frequency, his vibe, and it was easy to match up to it."

After Parasuram’s directorial, the duo again shared the screen in Dear Comrade, which was released in 2019. This film too emerged as a blockbuster success, and the audience loved Rashmika and Vijay’s magical chemistry. It was during these two films that they developed a strong bond.
