When we asked her about her first meeting with Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika said, “When I met sir for the first time, I didn’t have a shoot that day, but the next day we were shooting together. So, I just wanted to introduce myself and spend some time with him; so I waited for his shot to be done, and then I went to him and introduced myself, and I introduced myself with my character name, and not my real name. I was like ‘hi sir I am going to be this character, and tomorrow we are working together, and I am super excited'. I was the only one who was talking; he was just looking at me, and smiling. So, the first encounter was really cute.” Also Read - Naga Chaitanya starrer Thank You locks release date; chooses not to follow in RRR, KGF 2, Pushpa's footsteps
