Recently, Karnataka Congress MLA Ravikumar Gowda Ganiga targetted Sikandar actress Rashmika Mandanna, claiming that she 'disregarded' the Kannada-speaking audience and allegedly refused an invitation form their government to attend the Bengaluru International Film Festival. As per reports, the politician went on to slam the actress and said "the actress should be taught a lesson".

As quoted by ANI, the Congress MLA said, "Rashmika Mandanna, who started her career with the Kannada movie Kirik Party in Karnataka, refused to attend the International Film Festival last year when we invited her. She said, 'I have my house in Hyderabad, I don't know where Karnataka is, and I don't have time. I can't come.' One of our legislator friends visited her house 10-12 times to invite her, but she refused and even disregarded Kannada, despite growing up in the industry here. Shouldn't we teach them a lesson? (sic)".

Ravikumar Gowda's remarks on Rashmika Mandanna has sparked controversies online, earning criticism from netizen.

Congress MLA's recent claims against Rashmika Mandanna have been grabbing a lot of eye balls on the internet. Did the Sikandar actress really refuse to attend the Bengaluru International Film Festival? The latest report states otherwise.

The statements attributed to Rashmika Mandanna and the entire story about someone approaching Rashmika Mandanna and she refusing to attend the Bengaluru film festival are incorrect. This statement is being issued for placing the correct facts on record and for quelling any false narratives (sic)".

On the work front, Rashmika will next be seen opposite Salman Khan in his this year's Eid release 'Sikandar'.
