Rashmika Mandanna Opens Up: “Vijay Deverakonda Makes Me Want to Be a Better Version of Myself”

Marriage has a way of changing perspective, and for Rashmika Mandanna, that shift has been deeply personal. In a candid new interview, the actress opened up about life after her wedding to Vijay Deverakonda, an unexpected injury break, and how their creative partnership pushes her to grow — both on screen and off it.

Known for her packed schedule, Rashmika found herself unexpectedly slowed down while recovering from a hip injury. Instead of resenting the pause, she chose to lean into it, using the time to reconnect with family and simple everyday moments she rarely gets to enjoy.

A Marriage That Fuels Creative Growth

What stood out most in the conversation was how Rashmika described her professional dynamic with Vijay. The two are gearing up to reunite on screen for Ranabaali, their next collaboration after fan favourites like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. According to Rashmika, their on-set conversations constantly push each other to rethink scenes and sharpen performances — a dynamic she credits for motivating her to raise her own bar.

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is a period drama set against the backdrop of British rule, and is scheduled to hit screens on 16th October 2026. Rashmika also has the action thriller Mysaa lined up for a 27th November 2026 release, with early glimpses already generating buzz around her intense new look.
