Rishab Shetty's directorial debut in 2016, Kirik Party, achieved significant success and marked the beginning of Rashmika Mandanna's career. This romantic comedy, which also included performances by Rakshit Shetty, Samyukhta Hegde, and Achyuth Kumar, recently celebrated its eighth anniversary since its release. Rishab commemorated the occasion with a nostalgic post; however, he did not tag Rashmika, leading to speculation regarding a possible estrangement between the two.
It is noteworthy that the film featured Rishab's brother, Rakshit, who was previously engaged to Rashmika.
The social media post
On Friday, Rishab utilized X, previously known as Twitter, to commemorate a significant milestone. He posted a film poster accompanied by the message, “Eight years ago, a journey commenced that resonated with many and forged innumerable memories. I extend my gratitude for your love and support that rendered #KirikParty truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you, maga @rakshitshetty, for this remarkable journey.”
Nonetheless, the absence of any reference to Rashmika sparked considerable curiosity.
Fans wonder
Social media users are currently speculating whether Rishab still harbours resentment towards Rashmika Mandanna, considering their intricate history related to her ended engagement with his brother, Rakshit Shetty.
"While it was unjust for some individuals to criticize her for ending her engagement with Rakshit Shetty, it was unfortunate for the fans. However, it is their personal lives, and they have moved on. The healthiest approach would have been for others to do the same," commented one user. Another added, "Without Rashmika, this film would have been an average experience at best."
"Bro deliberately overlooked someone," remarked another individual. One user stated, "No one in Karnataka is concerned about their breakup. People have negative feelings towards her because she appears dismissive of Kannada and the people of Karnataka. It is disrespectful, especially when she has received nothing but affection from them. It is reasonable for someone to dislike a person who disrespects their language, even if her comments were subtle; there have been numerous instances and interviews that cannot be overlooked."
"To give him the benefit of the doubt, he only mentioned Rakshit," noted one user.
