Rashmika Mandanna addresses online trolling focused on her Hindi accent, saying the criticism does not change her work choices. She says she wants to continue working across different film industries and does not want to be stopped by negative comments about her language delivery.
Across outlets, the core point is that Mandanna frames her accent as part of her identity because she is from South India. Times of India adds that she expresses satisfaction in portraying diverse characters, including work mentioned in films such as “Animal” and “The Girlfriend,” and reiterates that she does not see herself as limiting which roles or industries she can pursue.
