For years, the chemistry between Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda has been the subject of endless fan theories and “slow-burn” rumors. Now, as the calendar turns to late February 2026, the “National Crush” and the “Rowdy Star” are finally ready to trade their cinematic scripts for wedding vows. In a move that prioritizes personal connection over social media spectacle, the couple is set to marry in a regal heritage palace in Udaipur on February 26. This celebration, however, will not be the typical paparazzi-led gala. Instead, the duo has implemented a strict “no-phone” policy, ensuring that their union remains an analog memory for the select few invited to witness it.
The emphasis on privacy is absolute. While industry colleagues are accustomed to being on every high-profile guest list, Rashmika and Vijay have restricted the Udaipur ceremony strictly to immediate family and childhood friends. To further safeguard their “big day,” even the professional photography and videography teams have reportedly signed ironclad Non-Disclosure Agreements. This digital blackout is paired with a heartfelt, low-key approach to gifting; the couple reportedly sent out handwritten notes to their inner circle, requesting only blessings rather than expensive presents. It is a refreshing departure from the era of viral wedding hashtags and live-streamed ceremonies, signaling a desire to protect the sanctity of their relationship from the relentless “scroll” of public opinion.
The commitment to their new chapter doesn’t end with the ceremony. Both actors have cleared their professional calendars for a full month following the nuptials. This deliberate career pause is intended to allow them a quiet transition into domestic life and a long-overdue honeymoon away from the flashbulbs. For the film fraternity and the wider public, the celebration will shift to Hyderabad on March 4, where a grand reception at the Taj Krishna is expected to bring together the titans of South Indian and Hindi cinema. While the Udaipur vows remain a private sanctuary, the Hyderabad gala will likely be the moment the world finally gets a glimpse of Tollywood’s most beloved pair as a newlywed couple.
