Kannada Star Rakshit Shetty Reacts On People Discussing His Breakup With Rashmika Mandanna

Bengaluru, July 2 - Actress Rashmika Mandanna made her acting debut with the Kannada movie "Kirik Party" in 2016 and the movie went on to become a huge hit.

In July 2017, they decided to make their relationship official and got engaged on 3 July 2017 in a private ceremony in Rashmika's hometown of Virajpet. However, their relationship couldn't last long as the couple mutually broke off their engagement in September 2018, citing compatibility issues. ## It has been nearly 4 years since Shetty and Rashmika broke up with each other, however, their break-up is still being discussed by people on social media and other platforms, despite Shetty conveying that there is no bad air between both of them. ## During a recent interaction with Koimoi, Rakshit shed light on the fact if the discussion about his past relationships bother him or not. "No, it doesn't bother me. I don't even go to the Internet and read that. To be frank, see there are crores of people out there and everybody has a perspective so I cannot expect everybody to love me, I can't expect everybody to hate me. I can't expect a single kind of emotion towards me from everyone. Everybody will think differently and look at me in a different way. When I have accepted that, there is no point in going on the Internet and seeing what are people talking about me". ## Rakshit Shetty is currently enjoying the success of the adventure comedy-drama film "777 Charlie". The movie, showing the journey and bonding between a lonely factory worker and a stray labrador dog, has turned out one of the biggest success stories of the year.

Hyderabad, June 25 - Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran has confirmed that he is doing Prabhas-fronted "Salaar".

However, due to the covid-19 pandemic, a lot of things changed which tempted Prithviraj to back out from the project because he too had his other commitments. ## Prabhas, who is playing the title role of Salaar, convinced Prithviraj to do the role which he agreed upon. He will be playing a very important role for which the details are yet to be known. The movie is produced by Hombale Films which has bankrolled mega-blockbuster KGF films. ## "Salaar" stars Shruti Haasan as the female lead while it also stars Jagapathi Babu, Madhu Guruswamy, and Easwari Rao in key roles.

We Have Had The Idea of KGF 3 Much Before KGF 2: Prashanth Neel

Bengaluru, June 23 - Director Prashanth Neel's KGF is arguably the biggest film franchise in India at the moment. There has been a genuine curiosity among the audiences about the KGF films and it keeps growing with each-passing day. ## KGF Chapter 2, which was released in April this year, is the 3rd highest-grossing Indian film of all time at the worldwide box office, and there is genuine excitement about its next chapter which has officially been announced. ## When KGF 3 was announced, many people thought the makers are forcibly pushing the franchise to make money as the story of the film ends with Rocky's death. However, director Prashanth Neel said that the making of KGF 3 is out of compulsion.## During a recent interview with a media house, Neel said (via Mirchi9), "KGF 3 is out of compulsion. People are in love with the franchise and the character. We are in a place where we have to make KGF 3. We have the idea for KGF 3. In fact, we have had the idea much before KGF 2". ## While the movie has been announced, the question about when it will begin remains unanswered. Director Neel is probably busy till the end of the next year. He is currently busy in Prabhas-fronted Salaar, and once he is done with it, he will kickstart Jr. NTR's next. We can only assume that KGF 3 will only start from 2024 if Neel doesn't take any other project apart from Salaar and NTR 31.## Stay tuned...
