‘The Girlfriend’ Touches every one Hearts – Allu Aravind
Women Are Getting Emotional After Watching ‘The Girlfriend’; It’s Truly Fulfilling to Have Produced Such a Beautiful Film: Ace Producer Allu Aravind
The much-awaited film The Girlfriend, starring National Crush Rashmika Mandanna and talented actor Dheekshith Shetty, released grandly today and is off to a strong start at the box office. The movie has struck a chord not just with youth but also with family audiences, thanks to its relatable story and emotional depth.
Presented by legendary producer Allu Aravind, The Girlfriend is a joint production of Geetha Arts and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment, directed by Rahul Ravindran and produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi. Following the film’s successful release, the team held a joyous success meet in Hyderabad, celebrating the overwhelming response.
Allu Aravind: “Women getting emotional after watching this film feels like our biggest reward.”
Producer Allu Aravind expressed his delight at the film’s success, saying,
“Before the release of The Girlfriend, I had said that the media would take this good film to the audience with responsibility — and you did exactly that. The ratings and word-of-mouth have been excellent. From the morning and matinee shows onwards, collections have been steadily rising. Many women have become emotional after watching the film, and that alone feels like a huge reward for all our hard work.”
He added,
“The film beautifully portrays how couples — whether lovers or spouses — should and shouldn’t behave with each other. Director Rahul did a remarkable job of capturing the emotions and silent pain women often suppress. He is the driving force behind this success. Both Rashmika and Dheekshith delivered outstanding performances. I hope the media continues to spread this positive word so the film reaches even more people.”
Dheekshith Shetty: “The response has been overwhelming — people are relating deeply to Vikram.”
Actor Dheekshith Shetty shared his excitement, saying,
“I’m truly grateful to the media for your support. People are recognizing me everywhere and sending messages about how much they connected with the film. We hoped that at least one person would relate to Vikram’s character — but seeing how many people have connected emotionally has been overwhelming. So many have said they’ve faced similar experiences in life. It’s deeply heartwarming. If you haven’t watched The Girlfriend yet, please do!”
Hesham Abdul Wahab: “The audience’s love has made this journey unforgettable.”
Music director Hesham Abdul Wahab said,
“A huge thank you to the audience for making The Girlfriend a success, and to my entire team for their constant support throughout this beautiful journey.”
Chota K. Prasad: “The positive talk is spreading show by show.”
Editor Chota K. Prasad shared,
“Our collections are growing steadily with every show, and the positive talk is spreading fast. The audience and media appreciation after the premiere show made all of us extremely happy.”
Shravya Varma: “Grateful to be part of such a beautiful film.”
Costume designer Shravya Varma said,
“The response to The Girlfriend has brought immense joy to our entire team. I’m thankful to director Rahul and producers Dheeraj and Vidya for trusting me with this project.”
Dheeraj Mogilineni: “This film will stay in my heart forever.”
Producer Dheeraj Mogilineni spoke emotionally about the journey, saying,
“We always believed this film needed media support — and the media responded wonderfully. Now, the movie belongs to the audience, and they are carrying it forward with love. After the premiere, I saw people in tears, connecting deeply with the story and its characters. Even my family members were moved to tears. As a producer, this gives me immense satisfaction. I don’t think I can make another film like this again. Rahul poured his heart into the film, and this success is truly his.”
Rahul Ravindran: “It’s my hug to all men — to inspire them to be better partners.”
Director Rahul Ravindran reflected on the film’s impact, saying,
“While making The Girlfriend, Rashmika would often say the film is her hug to all women — and I would tell her it’s my hug to all men, to inspire them to be better boyfriends and husbands. After the release, I called Rashmika to tell her that our words had come true — she got emotional. A woman journalist even cried while interviewing me. Another woman from Gujarat messaged saying the movie gave her courage. These reactions make me feel fulfilled — even if I never make another film, this is enough.”
He added,
“The emotions I wanted to convey were perfectly understood by the media. Their reviews reflected exactly what I intended. I owe this success to Aravind garu, who gave me complete creative freedom and believed in my vision. My heartfelt thanks to Aravind garu, Vidya, and Dheeraj for their constant faith and support.”
Vidya Koppineedi: “Our hearts are full.”
Producer Vidya Koppineedi said,
“The audience’s response has been so heartwarming. Our PR team did a wonderful job taking the film to the public, and the media gave us tremendous support. I sincerely thank everyone for being part of this beautiful journey.”
Rashmika Mandanna: “Rahul understood women’s emotions so beautifully.”
Sharing her thoughts, Rashmika Mandanna said,
“I’m overwhelmed by the response to The Girlfriend. I wish I could join the celebrations, but I’m currently busy shooting for another film. I was amazed by how deeply Rahul understood women’s emotions — I even asked him about it during the shoot! I’m thankful to him for giving me the opportunity to play Bhooma. Dheekshith is an incredible actor; he portrayed Vikram brilliantly. And Hesham’s music elevated our film to another level.”
