Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna
Wedding bells are ringing for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna as the couple prepares for a grand celebration of love and tradition. They are set to say "I do" in not one, but two traditional ceremonies. Vijay and Rashmika will honour both their roots with two ceremonies - a Telugu ritual in the morning and a Kodava ceremony in the evening, celebrating their shared commitment to family and heritage.
As per reports in Moneycontrol, the wedding will take place at 10 am as per the muhurtham on February 26. A source close to the couple said, "While the rituals in the morning will happen as per Telugu culture and tradition, another one in the evening will take place as per Kodava community rituals."
It is to be noted that while Vijay's family belongs to the Telugu community, Rashmika comes from the Kodava community. The planning of two ceremonies underlines the couple's commitment to respecting each other's heritage.
The actors' wedding ceremony will take place at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur. On Sunday, the actor couple officially announced their wedding. Ahead of the sangeet, the pre-wedding festivities featured a cricket bash. This cricket match adds to a growing collection of personal snapshots from the couple's celebrations - from pool volleyball games with friends to elegant, Japanese-inspired dinners. The couple is expected to exchange vows on February 26, 2026, in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
The ceremony is described as private and intimate, with only close family and friends in attendance, followed by planned receptions. However, a few industry friends were spotted at the venue. Following their Udaipur wedding, the couple is set to host a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4, reportedly at Taj Krishna. The reception is expected to be attended by their friends, colleagues and who's who of the Telugu film industry.
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's love story began when they worked together on the Telugu hit Geetha Govindam in 2018. Their on-screen chemistry sparked early dating rumours. They reunited again in Dear Comrade, which intensified fan speculation about a real-life bond. Over the subsequent years, they were frequently seen together privately and at events, though both kept personal details out of the spotlight.
