Rashmika Mandanna began her acting career in Kannada cinema before becoming a well-known figure in India. Her work in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films throughout the years has earned her a devoted following in all three languages. The fact that Rashmika Mandanna hasn't signed a Kannada film in a long time has intensified rumours that she has indeed been banned in Karnataka.

Rashmika Mandanna was recently questioned if she had seen Kantara: Chapter 1 by Rishab Shetty and if she had given the team any input during an interview with Good News Kannada. She said, "See, the thing is… I didn’t see the film in the first 2–3 days since its release. I didn’t see it right then, but I recently watched it and even texted the team. They even replied with a ‘Thank you’ response too."

Rashmika Mandanna added, "See, the world doesn’t know what is happening on the inside. Inside, god knows we can’t always put a camera on our personal lives. Also, we aren’t those people who share our messages online. So, what people say about a person’s life doesn’t matter. Now, what they say about our professional life, we’ll consider it and work on it."
