Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, the long-rumoured couple of the South Indian film industry, have reportedly gotten engaged in a hush-hush ceremony. According to sources close to the actors, the private event took place on Friday at 11:15 AM at Deverakonda’s residence in Hyderabad, with only immediate family members from both sides in attendance.
While the internet has been set ablaze by the news, there has been no official confirmation from either Vijay Deverakonda or Rashmika Mandanna, and no photographs from the intimate ceremony have been shared publicly.
The couple, whose electric chemistry in films like Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019) first sparked dating rumours, are reportedly planning a wedding for February 2026.
The private engagement marks a significant milestone for the duo who have consistently kept their relationship away from the media spotlight over the years. This low-key approach, sources suggest, is a deliberate move to maintain privacy ahead of their marriage.
On the professional front, both actors continue to excel. Rashmika Mandanna, who gained pan-India recognition with Pushpa: The Rise (2021) and starred in blockbusters like Animal (2023) and Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024), is currently awaiting the Diwali 2025 release of her Hindi horror-comedy film, ‘Thamma’, produced by Maddock Films and co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana.
Vijay Deverakonda was recently seen in the spy action thriller ‘Kingdom’, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The film received a warm appreciation from Rashmika, who gave a heartfelt shoutout to the actor’s hard work via her Instagram story.
As fans await an official announcement, the news of the engagement confirms one of the most speculated-about romances in Indian cinema.
