Rashmika goes full Ranabaali mode as she mimics Vijay Deverakonda's dialogue. Watch

Actor Rashmika Mandanna may be playing Vijay Deverakonda’s wife in Ranabaali, but she seems to have picked up a little too much of her husband’s character. In a new behind-the-scenes video from the period drama, Rashmika can be seen copying Vijay’s mannerisms and delivering one of his dialogues from the film. She then covers her face and breaks into a shy blush.

The playful moment was shared by Vijay as the couple gear up for the release of Ranabaali. In the clip, Vijay is seated on a swing chair when Rashmika walks towards him and imitates his Ranabaali avatar. She delivers his line, “This is Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali,” before covering her mouth with both hands and laughing.

Vijay seemed to be thoroughly entertained by the whole thing. Sharing the video on Instagram, he wrote, “She is a Cute Savage. They call her... Introducing my entertainment everyday. My distraction from the seriousness of being me (sic).”

The exchange quickly caught the attention of fans, who had plenty to say about the couple’s off-screen chemistry. One fan wrote, “Cute savage yayy!! Ranabaali's jayamma,” while another called them “the cutest thing on the internet”.

This one, however, has a little more significance - it’s their first film together since they got married earlier this year.

The film is set in the Rayalaseema region during the British era, with Vijay playing Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali, a Telugu man who rises against British rule. Rashmika plays Jayamma, his wife and a partner in his fight.

The cast also includes Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo, best known for playing Imhotep in The Mummy. He plays Sir Theodore Hector, an English oppressor in the film.

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is being positioned as a major festive release and is scheduled to hit theatres during the pre-Dussehra weekend. The film will release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam on October 16, while its trailer is set to arrive on October 7.

For Rashmika and Vijay, Ranabaali marks another chapter in a screen pairing that has already found a fan following. Their previous films together were Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam- EndsALSO READ | Actor Rashmika Mandanna meets MS Subbulakshmi's family after biopic launch
