One of the biggest superstars of the South, Vijay Deverakonda, has delivered some phenomenal movies in recent times. He became a household name with movies like Geetha Govindam, Arjun Reddy, and Dear Comrade, among others.

On his birthday, here's a throwback to the time when Rashmika was pretty scared of her Geetha Govindam co-star. The reason will shock you.
Why was Rashmika Mandanna scared of Vijay Deverakonda?
The Animal actress and the Liger actor have featured together in several films. It was the Parasuram ary that brought the two together for the first time on screen.

But then, Vijay is a very chill fellow, and I found it easy to work with him. Shooting for this film was easier as I knew his frequency and his vibe, and it was easy to match up to it. I didn't even have to try, as we've been friends for quite a long time now. Our characters rub off on each other, and the best part about our friendship is that I don't have to try hard to understand the guy."
Back in 2018, Rashmika Mandanna was dealing with her rough breakup with actor Rakshit Shetty. She had called off her engagement with him. In such troublesome times, it was Vijay Deverakonda who was a rock-solid support for her.
