Rashmika has acted in several Kannada and Telugu movies. Her recent film Sarileru Neekevvaru opposite popular Telugu actor Mahesh Babu is in the theatres now.
A recent report suggested she demanded a huge amount for Hindi remake of the Telugu hit Jersey. “I don’t know what a huge amount is. If a film doesn’t work out, it’s not only as if the male actor’s film didn’t work out. It’s also the female actor’s film that didn’t work out. It affects us as much as it affects them. It’s not about the money. It’s about how much you put in,” she told IANS.
