Rashmika Mandanna says Bollywood has 'romantic songs', south Indian films have 'item numbers' – divides Twitter

Rashmika Mandanna's latest comment on the music of Bollywood films versus that in south Indian cinema has not gone down well with some people. At the song launch of her forthcoming Hindi release Mission Majnu, Rashmika spoke about growing up listening to Bollywood romantic numbers, and said south Indian films have item and dance numbers. Rashmika’s comment about south Indian film music has left fans disappointed, with some reacting angrily on social media, while a few others agreed with her. Speaking at the Rabba Janda song launch alongside co-star Sidharth Malhotra, Rashmika said, "Bollywood romantic songs were a thing. For me, while growing up, romantic songs meant Bollywood numbers. In South, we have mass masala, item numbers and dance numbers. This is my first Bollywood romantic song. I am so excited because it's so good." While some people supported Rashmika’s remark and agreed that Bollywood has always had best romantic numbers, many were offended by her comment. Rashmika will soon commence work on the second part in the Pushpa franchise. The film will see her reunite with Allu Arjun.
