The long-standing rumors surrounding South cinema’s most talked-about couple, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, have finally reached a point of confirmation. After years of “just friends” claims, the Thama actress has reportedly acknowledged the news of her upcoming nuptials, scheduled for February 26, 2026.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, when a congratulatory message was sent to Rashmika regarding her wedding with Vijay, she replied with a simple “Thank you” and a smiley emoji. This brief but significant response is being viewed as the official end to months of intense speculation.
An Intimate Affair in Udaipur
The couple is set to tie the knot in the scenic city of Udaipur. Departing from the trend of massive celebrity weddings, the ceremony is expected to be a strictly private, “close-knit” event with only immediate family members in attendance.
Key details regarding the celebration include:
- No Industry Invitees: Reports suggest that no colleagues from the Telugu or Hindi film industries have been invited to the main ceremony.
- Grand Receptions: To celebrate with their peers, the couple plans to host two major receptions—one in Hyderabad and another in Mumbai—following the private wedding.
- Professional Break: Both actors have reportedly taken a short hiatus from their filming schedules, though Rashmika is expected to resume work shortly after the festivities.
Privacy First: The “No-Phone” Policy
Vijay and Rashmika are going to great lengths to ensure their big day remains out of the public eye.
- No-Phone Policy: Siasat.com reports that guests will be required to follow a strict no-phone rule to prevent leaked photos or videos.
- Declining OTT Deals: Despite a lucrative offer from a leading OTT platform to buy the exclusive streaming rights to their wedding video, the couple (led by Vijay’s preference for privacy) has reportedly turned down the deal. They have expressed a strong desire not to “commercialize” their union.
One Last Collaboration Before “I Do”
Before heading to the altar, fans will get to see the Geetha Govindam duo together on screen one more time. Variety India reported that the pair has a professional commitment to film an advertisement together just days before the wedding.
