Vijay Deverakonda Tells ‘I Love You’ On a Call With Rashmika Mandanna, Video Goes Viral –

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s dating rumours were fuelled by Ranbir Kapoor in a recent interview. Ranbir and Rashmika were seen promoting their upcoming film, Animal, on Unstoppable with NBK 2. During the show, the host, Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna asked her to pick a poster between Vijay Deverakonda’s Arjun Reddy and Ranbir Kapoor headlined Animal. When Rashmika struggled to pick, Balakrishna asked Sandeep Reddy Vanga to call Vijay.

During the call, Ranbir teased Vijay by saying that Balakrishna was getting jealous by the phone call and added that he has been calling her ‘Crushmika’ during the show. Vijay said, “Bala sir love Rashmika.” When Balakrishna asked who does Vijay love, the Kushi star said, “I love Sandeep Reddy Vanga”. His reply left Rashmika in splits.

Ranbir then prompted Vijay to weigh in on which film he thinks which poster is better — Arjun Reddy or Animal. “Keeping the posters aside, I like Ranbir a lot and then, I love… I love you,” Vijay said, without mentioning who he was talking about. The phone was held in Sandeep’s hand but everyone was listening in. Watch the video below:

In the same phone call, Ranbir revealed an interesting anecdote about Rashmika and Vijay’s bond which fuelled their dating rumours. “Sandeep met Rashmika for the first time at Arjun Reddy’s success party on Vijay’s terrace.” This left Rashmika speechless before she asked Ranbir who is giving him all the information. “It’s not necessary to give all this information,” Rashmika said with a blush.

Meanwhile, Ranbir and Rashmika will be seen sharing the screen for the first time in Animal. The film is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and is set to release on December 1.
