Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's Hyderabad Reception Restricted to Invite-Only Event
Amid soaring excitement surrounding the highly anticipated wedding of South Indian superstars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, the couple's official team has confirmed that their upcoming March 4 reception in Hyderabad will remain a strictly invite-only event. This decision has been made primarily due to significant security considerations and consultations with local authorities.
Security Concerns Prompt Tighter Controls
In an official statement released to the media, the team representing the newlyweds explained that the "Virosh" wedding celebration has become one of the most celebrated occasions in the country, drawing immense love and attention from fans across India. While the reception was originally planned as an exclusive gathering for members of the film fraternity spanning Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada industries—along with distinguished leaders from political and administrative circles—the guest list has now been further restricted following detailed consultations with security authorities.
Police officials have reportedly advised implementing tighter controls to prevent large public gatherings, potential traffic congestion, and various safety risks that could arise from uncontrolled crowds. Ensuring the well-being of all guests, the general public, and the celebrity couple themselves remains the absolute top priority for event organizers. Entry to the reception venue will be permitted exclusively to those individuals possessing valid, official invitations, and people without proper invites have been explicitly requested not to visit the location under any circumstances.
Couple's Statement and Future Plans
The official statement further elaborated that Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, along with event administrators, are working closely together to ensure the celebration proceeds smoothly without requiring cancellation. If circumstances permit, additional receptions may be considered at a later date to accommodate well-wishers and fans in a more structured and organized manner. Expressing their heartfelt gratitude, Vijay and Rashmika conveyed through their team: "Your safety and happiness mean everything to us. We are deeply grateful for your blessings and support, and we sincerely request your cooperation in helping us keep this celebration safe and joyful for everyone involved."
Pre-Reception Activities and Temple Visits
Ahead of the formal reception, Rashmika Mandanna personally met with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to extend a formal invitation to the event. During this meeting, she also interacted warmly with his wife Geetha and their daughter, seeking their blessings for the marital union. Earlier on the same day, the newly married couple was spotted visiting a prominent temple in Hyderabad where they offered prayers together, marking a traditional beginning to their celebration.
In a generous gesture, their team distributed thousands of specially prepared sweet boxes across twenty-three major Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad. Simultaneously, organized annadanam (sacred food offering ceremonies) were conducted at multiple temples across the country, allowing the couple to share their happiness with the broader community.
Wedding Ceremony and High-Profile Meetings
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda officially tied the knot on February 26 in a beautiful ceremony held in Udaipur, attended exclusively by close friends and immediate family members. Several days before their wedding, the couple had the honor of meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to personally extend their wedding invitations.
Rashmika later shared cherished photographs from their meeting with the Prime Minister on her social media platform X, while Vijay posted images from their interaction with Home Minister Amit Shah, expressing gratitude for the gift of a Ganesh idol presented to them during the visit.
