This marked the start of their friendship, which only grew stronger when they reunited for Dear Comrade. It was after this film that fans started speculating that they were dating. But the two have always maintained their silence on the matter.
In a throwback interview with Hindustan Times, Rashmika addressed the rumors of her dating Vijay and urged people not to jump to conclusions. She said, “You (people) can talk s**t about us, you can say negative things about it. Because in the end, we are public figures. We can’t choose just the good bits, thinking people just focus on work and not on personal life. So, they are free to talk about anything, just don’t come to a conclusion. Till the time you hear from me, that is not true.”
