Speculation is rife in the Indian film industry as reports strongly indicate that popular actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are gearing up for a major personal milestone. The duo, who have captivated audiences with their on-screen chemistry, are reportedly planning to tie the knot in a private ceremony scheduled for 26 February 2026.
Udaipur Palace to Host the Intimate Affair
According to multiple media reports, the wedding is set to take place in the romantic city of Udaipur. Sources suggest that a palace venue has been chosen for the occasion, with preparations already underway for an intimate gathering. The ceremony is expected to be a close-knit affair, attended only by immediate family members and a select group of friends from the film fraternity, keeping with the couple's desire for privacy.
This follows a private engagement ceremony that is believed to have taken place earlier. Reports from outlets like NDTV state that the couple got engaged in Hyderabad on 3 October 2025. Much like their wedding plans, the engagement was a discreet event, held in the presence of their closest family members. It is noteworthy that neither Rashmika Mandanna nor Vijay Deverakonda has officially confirmed their engagement or the subsequent wedding date through any public announcement.
Maintaining Silence Amidst Growing Speculation
Rashmika Mandanna recently touched upon the swirling rumours during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. When probed about her marriage plans, the actor chose a diplomatic approach. “I wouldn’t like to confirm or deny the marriage. I will just say when it’s to be spoken about, we shall,” she stated, maintaining her characteristic reserve on matters of her personal life.
While the actors have never publicly declared themselves a couple, their strong bond and mutual support have been evident for years. They frequently cheer for each other's professional projects on social media and are often seen together at public events. A notable instance was in August, when they served as Grand Marshals for the 43rd India Day Parade in New York, sharing the stage and spotlight throughout the celebrations.
Post-Wedding Plans and Professional Front
Following the Udaipur wedding, the couple is expected to host a separate reception for their colleagues and well-wishers from the Indian film industry. This event is likely to be held in Hyderabad, though details about the guest list and the exact venue remain closely guarded secrets.
On the professional front, Mandanna and Deverakonda share a successful history of collaborations. They have starred together in hit Telugu films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, which cemented their popularity as a beloved on-screen pair. Excitingly for fans, they are also rumoured to be teaming up again for a new project directed by Rahul Sankrityan.
Individually, both stars have a busy slate of upcoming films. Vijay Deverakonda was last seen in the film Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. Rashmika Mandanna recently featured in Thamma with Ayushmann Khurrana and the Telugu film The Girlfriend. Looking ahead, Mandanna has projects like Cocktail 2 and Mysaa in the pipeline, while Deverakonda is set to headline Rowdy Janardhana.
For now, both actors continue to focus on their thriving careers, even as public curiosity about their reported journey towards matrimony reaches a fever pitch.
