Rashmika Mandanna addresses trolling aimed at her accent and language, saying she chooses not to engage with “unnecessary chatter” and instead concentrates on acting and telling stories on set. In comments reported by multiple outlets, she frames her approach as staying focused on her craft rather than responding to criticism.
Mandanna discusses her multilingual background, noting that she grew up in Kodagu (Coorg), where her mother tongue is Kodava Takk. She also says language has not been a barrier in her career, which she describes as having developed organically as she moved across regional film industries. Both sources present her as describing herself as a “Jack of all trades and master of none,” while emphasizing that communicating with people in their language is part of her work.
While the outlets mainly agree on her response to trolls and her overall perspective, they place different emphasis: one outlet includes her quotes on avoiding stepping on others’ toes, and the other highlights the multilingual scope of her career and mentions upcoming projects such as Ranabaali, Mysaa, and Allu Arjun’s Raaka.
