Congress MLA refuses to accept Rashmika's statement, double down on criticism

After criticising actor Rashmika Mandanna for allegedly refusing the invitation to the Bengaluru International Film Festival, Congress MLA Ravi Ganiga dismissed her statement denying any such refusal. We will release the document publicly that we have invited Rashmika for the film festival and she has not attended,” Ravi Ganiga stated, asserting that he did not believe it was her statement, but that of her public relations team. Rashmika acted initially in Kannada and then went on to other industries,” the Mandya MLA said. However, a source close to the actor said the accusations were “completely false and do not have any element of truth.” “The statements attributed to Rashmika Mandanna and the entire story about someone approaching her and her refusing to attend the Bengaluru film festival are incorrect.
