Rashmika Mandanna never misses a chance to revisit her career milestones, and this time, she’s taking fans back to one of her most beloved films. Marking the occasion on August 15, the actress reminisced about her 2018 blockbuster Geetha Govindam with a nostalgic Instagram post celebrating its seventh anniversary. The romantic comedy, which became a runaway success, marked her first on-screen pairing with Vijay Deverakonda—sparking a wave of fan speculation then and now.
Her latest post featured a collection of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos from the sets. Among them were candid snaps of Deverakonda—one showing him casually scrolling through his phone—alongside moments from promotional events and scenes in preparation. The opening image in her carousel was a still from the film that went viral at the time of its release.
In her caption, Rashmika expressed disbelief at how quickly time had flown. “I can’t believe I still have these pictures from seven years ago,” she wrote, calling Geetha Govindam “the most special film” of her career. She fondly remembered the entire cast and crew, noting it had been far too long since they last met, and hoped everyone was doing well.
Fans were quick to flood the comments section with praise for both stars, reigniting discussions about their on-screen chemistry—and off-screen rapport. The duo’s partnership continued the following year with Dear Comrade, further cementing their status as one of Telugu cinema’s favorite pairs.
Helmed by Parasuram, Geetha Govindam follows the tale of Vijay Govind, a young man who falls head over heels for the confident and independent Geetha. Their blossoming relationship takes a turn due to a misunderstanding, setting off a series of humorous and heartfelt attempts to reconcile. The film’s charming narrative, strong performances, and catchy soundtrack propelled it to box office glory, and it remains a fan favorite to this day.
Available for streaming on Zee5 and Disney+ Hotstar, the movie stands as a key turning point in Rashmika’s career. Long before she became a pan-Indian sensation and earned the title of “national crush,” Geetha Govindam showcased her range and screen presence, helping to solidify her stardom in the Telugu industry.
Seven years on, Rashmika’s nostalgic post not only celebrates the film’s enduring appeal but also reminds fans why Geetha—and her chemistry with Vijay Deverakonda—continues to hold a special place in their hearts.
