The omission caught the attention of fans, leading to speculation that it might be linked to her breakup with Rakshit Shetty.

One fan said, “Bro intentionally ignored someone,” while another argued, “Without Rashmika this movie would have been a below average watch.”
Others defended the situation, noting that while Rashmika and Rakshit’s engagement ended years ago, they should respect their individual journeys.
Rishab Shetty’s relationship with both Rakshit and Rashmika have always been in the spotlight. The film, which marked the debut of both actors in the Kannada film industry, holds a special place for fans.
Rashmika and Rakshit’s on-screen chemistry and real-life romance made headlines, but their engagement ended in 2018.
Since then, Rashmika has gone on to become a pan-Indian star, while Rakshit and Rishab have maintained their focus on their careers in Kannada cinema.
Despite the fans’ reactions, Rishab has never publicly acknowledged Rashmika in his interviews, and she too has been quiet about her past connections with the Kannada film industry.
The absence of Rashmika’s name in the post has added fuel to ongoing speculation about the relationship dynamics, with some fans urging everyone to move on from past relationships and focus on the present.
