The film directed by Parasuram has her paired opposite Vijay Devarakonda. “The effort I put in over the last seven months has paid off. I have never been a money-minded person and have only worked for the love of cinema. So, making it to the ` 100 crore club is yet to sink in. Right now, I am glad that my performance has been recognised and appreciated. At the end of the day, that’s what counts,” she says.

Money matters

However, having said that, I am here in the industry to do good films,” says Rashmika.
