Actress Pratibha Ranta has finally broken her silence on recent reports which claimed that she is set to star in the Hindi remake of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda`s Telugu hit film Dear Comrade. Reports suggested that the remake is also set to feature Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead.
Pratibha took to her Instagram story on Friday, January 2, to clarify the reports. Pratibha wrote, "With due respect, I kindly request all media pages to please refrain from posting or circulating any unverified information and wait for an official announcement. This has been happening with me for quite some time now, with several projects that I am not associated with, which often leads to unnecessary confusion."
