Rashmika Mandanna, one of the leading actresses in the film industry, is currently basking in the success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Recently, during an interview, the actress made a slight misstep when discussing her admiration for Thalapathy Vijay. While speaking about her early experiences with Vijay’s films, she mentioned that Ghilli was a remake of Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri, which is incorrect.

Rashmika shared, “Ghilli. You know why I keep saying that I love Vijay Thalapathy, sir? Because it is the first film I saw him in a theater. Ghilli is a film… I think I recently learned that it’s a remake of a film called Pokiri. I didn’t know. So, I watched this, and Appadi Podu… the song, oh my god. The majority of my life, I was performing on that song.”

However, Ghilli is actually a remake of the Telugu film Okkadu and not Pokiri. After realizing her error, Rashmika quickly acknowledged her mistake and issued an apology, expressing regret for the confusion caused.

Despite her good-natured acknowledgment, the slip-up didn’t go unnoticed by netizens, who took to social media to troll the actress. Nevertheless, Rashmika’s prompt apology demonstrated her humility and willingness to admit when she’s wrong, earning her praise for handling the situation with grace.
