Rashmika Mandanna reveals Vijay Deverakonda’s intense transformation in *Ranabaali* mirrors Allu Arjun’s legendary shift in *Pushpa 2*. She claims Vijay completely disappeared into his role, leaving the real actor behind. Set during the Great Madras Famine, this period drama marks a gritty evolution from their romantic roots. Rashmika insists this performance is a powerful, consuming “one-man show” unlike anything before.
