(Credit: PTI/JioHotstar) Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s appearance on Koffee With Karan has sparked an online debate after their reaction to learning that Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is popularly known as the ‘Complete Actor’.
The couple’s apparent surprise at the title has caught the attention of Mohanlal’s fans, with some questioning their unfamiliarity with the sobriquet associated with the veteran actor.The exchange took place during a segment hosted by Karan Johar, in which the guests were quizzed on popular South Indian actors and their titles. While the moment was played out in a light-hearted manner on the show, it prompted reactions from fans who consider ‘Complete Actor’ an integral part of Mohanlal’s legacy.During the segment, Karan asked Vijay and Rashmika to identify South Indian actors by their popular titles.
When asked who is known as the ‘Icon Star’, Rashmika promptly named Allu Arjun. She also correctly identified Yash as the ‘Rocking Star’.However, when Karan asked about the ‘Complete Actor’, Vijay jokingly claimed the title for himself, replying, “Me!” Karan then clarified that the title was associated with Mohanlal.
One of the fans weighed in on the sequence and wrote, “The Rashmika and Vijay Devarakonda knows all stars but they don't know complete actor Mohanlal sir. Vijay Devarakonda has comdey sense even rashmika also laughed about it...(sic).” While another wrote, “At least Karan Johar knows who the “complete actor” is.
But unfortunately, the so-called Kerala Megastar seems to be completely unknown outside his own fan bubble! When Rashmika Mandanna was asked about the Megastar, she named Chiranjeevi!
That says it all about the difference between the image some fans build around their favourite star and the actual recognition an actor enjoys beyond his home industry.”A third user chimed in and wrote, “Today, they'll be dunking cow dung at Rashmika's house. Those slow-witted fools will stand and fling shit.”Meanwhile, the episode also offered a glimpse into Vijay and Rashmika’s relationship, with Vijay sharing details about his plans to propose to her before their wedding.
The actors appeared on the show as part of the promotional campaign for Ranabaali, in which they share screen space.Vijay and Rashmika first worked together in the 2018 Telugu hit Geetha Govindam, followed by Dear Comrade in 2019. Their on-screen chemistry prompted years of speculation about their relationship, though they largely kept their personal lives private.They married in Udaipur on February 26, 2026, with ceremonies honouring their Telugu and Kodava traditions.- Ends
