Just a day after news of her alleged private engagement to actor Vijay Deverakonda went viral, the makers of Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming pan-Indian romantic drama, The Girlfriend, have officially locked its theatrical release for November 7, 2025.
The announcement was made by the presenter of the film, Geetha Arts, across multiple social media platforms, confirming a massive multi-lingual release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. The production house shared a cryptic post, asking audiences, “WHO IS YOUR TYPE? Let’s have this conversation with #TheGirlfriend in theaters from NOVEMBER 7th, 2025.”
Teaser Explores Relationship Clarity
The release date was accompanied by a new one-minute and 49-second teaser, offering a glimpse into the film’s central theme of compatibility and clarity in relationships. The clip features Rashmika Mandanna in an intense dialogue with co-star Dheekshith Shetty.
In the scene, Rashmika’s character, seemingly contemplating her relationship, asks, “Each one of us has a type, right Vikram? Do I belong to your type? How do you decide if two people are made for each other? Importantly, when do they discover this?”
Her co-star’s character responds with a knowing question, “Don’t tell me you are suddenly wondering if I am right for you.” Rashmika then adds a contemplative line: “I also wonder if I am right for you. People get into relationships for a variety of reasons. But how many have this clarity?”
A Coincidental Announcement
The timing of the film’s release date announcement has captured widespread attention as it closely follows unconfirmed but widely reported news of Rashmika’s engagement. According to several media reports, Rashmika Mandanna and her frequent co-star Vijay Deverakonda were privately engaged in Hyderabad, with only close family in attendance. The couple is reportedly planning a wedding in February 2026. While neither actor has publicly confirmed the news, the subsequent film announcement, which is inherently about finding “the right type,” adds a layer of irony and intrigue to Rashmika’s current personal life headlines.
The Girlfriend is written and directed by Rahul Ravindran, with music by Hesham Abdul Wahab. Produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni and Vidya Koppineedi, the romantic drama is poised to be a major release in the latter half of the year, riding high on the curiosity surrounding its star.
