Last
year,
actress
Rashmika
Mandanna
became
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons
when
Geetha
Govindam
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
box
office
and
emerged
as
a
surprise
hit.
The
movie,
directed
by
newcomer
Parasuram,
clicked
with
the
younger
generation
and
this
helped
it
rake
in
the
moolah.
Sadly
for
the
Kodava
beauty,
her
next
release
Devadas
under-performed
at
the
box
office
despite
receiving
good
reviews.
Some
time
ago,
she
found
herself
in
the
limelight
when
rumours
of
her
hiking
her
remuneration
went
viral.
According
to
some
reports,
Rashmika
-
who
charged
around
Rs
45
lakh
per
movie
initially,
hiked
her
fee
to
Rs
60
lakh
for
her
Kannada
movie
Pogaru.
It
was
also
reported
that
she
was
paid
a
bomb
for
her
Tamil
movie
with
hero
Karthi,
which
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
movie
buffs.
During
the
promotions
of
Dear
Comrade,
Rashmika
commented
on
these
rumours
and
revealed
why
she
decided
to
hike
her
remuneration
"You
work
in
the
media.
I
am
sure
you
would
want
a
hike
on
your
salary
and
promotion
at
regular
intervals
in
your
career.
I
expect
the
same
too," said
the
Chalo
star.
Stars
normally
do
not
like
talking
about
their
remuneration
in
public,
which
makes
Rashmika's
comment
quite
surprising.
Meanwhile,
Rashmika
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
Dear
Comrade,
slated
to
release
on
July
26,
2019.
The
film
marks
her
second
collaboration
with
Geetha
Govindam
co-star
Vijay
Deverakonda,
which
is
its
biggest
highlight.
Recently,
Rashmika
had
revealed
that
she
has
dubbed
her
own
lines
for
the
Kannada
version
of
Dear
Comrade.
"For
all
my
fans
in
Karnataka,
who
have
been
waiting
to
watch
me
on
the
big
screen,
I
consider
this
as
another
Kannada
film
from
me
to
them.
Dear
Comrade
is
a
film
that
is
very
close
to
my
heart,
and
I
am
happy
to
have
it
in
Kannada
too," she
had
added.
Dear
Comrade
is
slated
to
hit
screens
in
four
languages
(Telugu,
Tamil,
Malayalam
and
Kannada).
