Ranbir Kapoor seemed to spill the beans on the rumoured romance between Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda in the recent episode of ’Unstoppable with NBK.’ The actress, set to star in the upcoming film ‘Animal’ alongside Ranbir, found herself at the centre of speculation when the latter shared intriguing details during a candid conversation.
The chatter around Vijay began when Telugu superstar Nandamuri Balakrishna prompted 'Animal' director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Rashmika to choose between ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Animal.’
Seizing the moment, Ranbir cheekily urged Rashmika to pick her 'better actor' between her 'reel hero' (hinting at himself) and her 'real hero' (hinting at Vijay). In a light-hearted attempt to tease, Nandamuri encouraged Sandeep to dial Vijay's number, predicting a playful reluctance on Vijay's part.
Playfully taking control, Ranbir asked for Rashmika's phone, instructing her to call Vijay. Amidst laughter, Rashmika blushed as the call went unanswered. He eventually called Sandeep back. After greetings were exchanged, the phone was handed to Rashmika, and she cautioned Vijay about the speakerphone. In a humorous twist, when asked about love, Vijay named director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, leaving the audience in splits.
The light-hearted exchange continued as the team asked Rashmika to choose between Ranbir's ‘Animal’ poster and Vijay's ‘Arjun Reddy’ poster. Diplomatically, she expressed a connection to both films and said both films are dear to her.
However, Ranbir was not convinced with her answer and then shared an amusing 'coincidence story,' disclosing that Sandeep and Rashmika first met at a post-release party for ‘Arjun Reddy’ on Vijay's terrace.
This left Rashmika speechless as she quipped Ranbir who was giving him all the information.
