Rashmika Mandanna says she never saw her accent as a problem and says directors let her dub her own performances.

  • On Koffee With Karan Season 9, actress Rashmika Mandanna addressed criticism of her South Indian accent in Hindi films, stating she never viewed it as a limitation to her career choices.
