Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are set to tie the knot, and the pre-wedding festivities have already begun in Udaipur. Celebrations encompass a range of activities, including pool games and Japanese dinners, as friends from the film industry gather to join in the festivities.
The guest list has been revealed, showcasing notable figures from the film world. With the couple’s close friends arriving in Udaipur, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation. Actors such as Tharun Bhascker and Rahul Ravindran have already been spotted, adding to the excitement of the event.
In the lead-up to the wedding, Vijay’s home was decorated with lights, symbolizing the couple’s joy ahead of their celebration. Both actors departed from Hyderabad for Udaipur, accompanied by Vijay’s brother Anand Deverakonda and a few lifelong friends, marking the beginning of an intimate gathering.
As the festivities unfold, glimpses of the couple enjoying their time with family and friends have surfaced on social media. The arrival of Tharun Bhascker, who directed Vijay in “Pelli Choopulu,” and actress Eesha Rebba further highlights the gathering’s significance. Stylist Shravya Varma, known for her closeness to the couple, was also seen arriving in Udaipur.
Joining the celebration were actor Ashika Ranganath and director-actor Rahul Ravindran, who directed Rashmika in “The Girlfriend.” With a tight-knit guest list expected, many are curious to see who else will attend this special occasion, reminiscent of their private engagement in Hyderabad.
Vijay and Rashmika’s journey began when they collaborated on the films “Geetha Govindam” in 2018 and “Dear Comrade” in 2019. While Rashmika was previously engaged to her “Kirik Party” co-star Rakshit Shetty, they parted ways in 2018. Vijay was also rumored to be in a relationship prior to his connection with Rashmika, but that ended without much public acknowledgment.
Though the couple initially maintained a friendship, their relationship became more apparent starting in 2020, as fans observed them spending time together at Vijay’s home and on vacations. Rumors of their romance intensified throughout 2022, yet they remained tight-lipped. Their engagement took place in a modest ceremony in Hyderabad in October 2025, attended by close family and friends. They confirmed their relationship and upcoming nuptials just recently.
In preparation for their wedding, a secure environment has been established, with a three-tier security system in place according to a source. Local law enforcement, along with security teams from Hyderabad, are set to ensure a smooth event. Additionally, an international security detail has been integrated to enhance safety measures. The marriage is expected to follow traditional South Indian customs, reflecting Vijay’s Telugu heritage and Rashmika’s Kodava roots.
