Women Getting Emotional After Watching The Girlfriend; It’s Truly Fulfilling to Produce Such a Film: Allu Aravind
The emotional drama The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Dheekshith Shetty, released today to an overwhelming response. Directed by Rahul Ravindran and jointly produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi under the banners of Geetha Arts and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment, the film is presented by ace producer Allu Aravind. Following the strong word of mouth and growing box office collections, a success meet was held in Hyderabad.
Producer Allu Aravind said,
“Before the release, I mentioned that The Girlfriend was a good film that deserved responsible support from the media—and you’ve done exactly that. The reviews and ratings have been excellent. From morning shows, collections have been steadily increasing. The fact that women are becoming emotional after watching the film feels like the biggest reward for all our efforts.
The film beautifully portrays how partners should and shouldn’t treat each other. Director Rahul has done a fantastic job in bringing out emotions that women often suppress. He is the main reason for this success. Both the lead actors gave wonderful performances. I hope more people watch the film and spread the word.”
Actor Dheekshith Shetty said,
“I’m very grateful for the love and support. Many people have been messaging me saying they connected deeply with my character, Vikram. We initially hoped that at least one person would relate emotionally, but seeing how many people have connected is overwhelming. The reactions are truly heart-touching. If you haven’t watched The Girlfriend yet, please go experience it.”
Music Director Hesham Abdul Wahab shared,
“Thank you to everyone for making The Girlfriend a success. I’m grateful to my team and our audience for their constant support.”
Editor Chota K. Prasad said,
“The positive word of mouth is spreading fast. The collections are growing with every show, and both audiences and the media have appreciated our film. The response after the premiere made us all very happy.”
Costume Designer Shravya Varma said,
“I’m thankful to the entire team for this opportunity. The audience’s love for The Girlfriend has made us all very happy.”
Producer Dheeraj Mogilineni said,
“We believed this film deserved strong media support, and we received it wholeheartedly. Now the film belongs to the audience—they’re carrying it forward with love. Many people, including journalists, messaged me saying they were moved to tears. Even my family got emotional. This success gives me immense satisfaction. It’s truly Rahul’s film—he poured his soul into it, and I’m thankful for that.”
Director Rahul Ravindran said,
“While making The Girlfriend, Rashmika told me this film is like a big hug to all women. I told her it’s my hug to all men—to encourage them to become better partners. After release, I called Rashmika and told her our words came true—she was emotional.
A woman journalist cried during an interview, and another woman from Gujarat messaged me saying the film gave her courage. Seeing such reactions makes me feel deeply fulfilled. I’m thankful to Aravind garu for believing in my vision and giving me complete creative freedom, and to my entire team for standing by me.”
Producer Vidya Koppineedi said,
