Rashmika Mandanna’s latest film, The Girlfriend, has been making waves since its teaser was out in December 2024. But with no news of the release, fans became impatient, and the now-famous hashtag #ReleaseTheGirlfriend gained popularity on the web. To the mounting pressure, Rashmika Mandanna talks about the film and director Rahul Ravindran finally responded to the delay and promised fans that it will be worth waiting for.

The Girlfriend: A Much-Awaited Film

Directed by Rahul Ravindran, The Girlfriend is a character-based romantic drama with themes that have never been touched upon in commercial cinema ever before. Headlined by Rashmika Mandanna, supported by Dheekshith Shetty, the film’s teaser, read by Vijay Deverakonda, moves us through Rashmika’s love life and struggles of the heart on campus.

Why the Delay?

Fans eagerly awaited news, yet the team was silent for months. The delay led to gossip and anger among Rashmika’s fans, who cried for explanations. Director Rahul Ravindran finally broke his silence, stating:

“Guys… there will be updates soon. Praamise. Please be a little patient.”

Rashmika too intervened to calm fans, declaring the movie is one of her most dear projects and that the crew is trying their best to deliver their best work.

Rashmika Mandanna Talks about ‘The Girlfriend”

Speaking of the viral hashtag, Rashmika posted on social media:

“Hi my loves ❤️ I know we’ve been keeping you waiting and your trend truly is something else… but trust us, @23_rahulr is actually putting in the hard work to provide the best output. It’s one of the most unique kind of films… a film where we talk about things that we don’t actually talk much about. It’s an entirely character-driven film, and that’s what makes it beautiful. We assure you we wish to provide you the best, and it’s worth it. But due to today… for all the love that you have shown towards us, we just speed up the process and give it to you at the earliest!”

Fan Reaction and Expectation

Fan reaction was overwhelmingly good with Rashmika’s response being welcomed by the fans, who were eager and curious to watch the movie and had it released. They all loved her for dispelling their concerns and vowed to stick with the venture.

Even though The Girlfriend has faced some setbacks, there have been reassurances from Rashmika Mandanna and Rahul Ravindran that news would arrive sooner rather than later. Because of its offbeat storyline and good performances, the movie is likely to be an experience one will never forget. Fans can now wait for more information soon.
