Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna Choose a Private Wedding Over Big Offers

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have emerged as one of Tollywood’s most beloved couples. While they have never officially confirmed their relationship, their undeniable on-screen and off-screen chemistry has captured the hearts of fans. The pair first collaborated on the film Geetha Govindam, which sparked speculation about their off-screen romance. Reports suggest that they secretly got engaged in October 2025, and excitement is building around their upcoming wedding.

Recent updates indicate that the couple is set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026. A leading OTT platform approached them with a substantial offer to secure exclusive rights for their wedding video, but they reportedly declined the deal. Sources suggest that Vijay prefers to keep the ceremony private and intimate, citing concerns related to legal issues that arose during the wedding of Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan.

A reliable source close to the actors revealed that the wedding will take place at a palace in Udaipur. This heritage property has been chosen intentionally to maintain the intimacy of the event, similar to their engagement. The couple aims to invite only close friends and family, keeping the celebration low-key.

Rashmika’s journey before she met Vijay included an engagement with actor Rakshit Shetty, which ended in September 2018 due to compatibility issues. Shortly after, she met Vijay while filming Geetha Govindam, and the duo later collaborated again on Dear Comrade. Their on-screen chemistry further fueled rumors of a romantic relationship blossoming in real life.

Although they have generally kept their personal lives under wraps, recent public appearances have hinted at a deeper connection. Notably, their affectionate displays at the success party of Rashmika’s film, The Girlfriend, drew significant attention. During the film’s promotions, Rashmika alluded to having a supportive partner who helped her heal from past pain, prompting fans to speculate about her reference to Vijay.

The couple’s choice to hold an intimate wedding has sparked varied reactions among fans. It reflects their desire for privacy while celebrating their relationship in a meaningful way. As the wedding date approaches, fans remain excited to see the continuation of their love story unfold.
