Nani lands in controversy for 'Vijay Deverakonda-Rashmika' picture

In a recent pre-release event for "Hi Nanna," organizers attempted an innovative promotional strategy that backfired, causing controversy and drawing criticism. During the event, anchor Suma presented a series of photos to actress Mrunal Thakur for her comments. Initially, pictures of Nani, Nazriya, and Dulquer Salmaan were displayed, and Mrunal responded accordingly.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn when pictures of Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna on a Bali vacation were suddenly collaged on the screen. This surprised Mrunal, who appeared unsure of how to respond. Anchor Suma attempted to navigate the situation, asking Mrunal for her comments on the unexpected photos.

Instead of stopping there, Suma continued to press the issue, asking Mrunal for her thoughts on the photo. Mrunal responded with a diplomatic "Vacation mode on."

Suma then extended the discussion by cracking a joke. The video of this incident went viral on social media, with fans expressing their discontent.

Some fans questioned the organizers' decision to display personal photos of other actors during the promotion of Nani's movie. The incident sparked a backlash, with some netizens criticizing the organizers for their approach. Vijay Devarakonda's fans, in particular, took issue with the anchor discussing the picture without removing it, leading to trolling and negative comments.
