Tollywood’s beloved couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are reportedly hosting a grand wedding reception on March 4, 2026, following their intimate February 26 Udaipur palace wedding.

The Strategic Two-Event Plan
According to NTV Telugu, the February 26 Udaipur wedding will be strictly private with family and friends like director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The March 4 Hyderabad reception opens doors to South cinema’s biggest stars and Bollywood celebrities—one of 2026’s most anticipated gatherings.
Privacy Over Profit
Vijay and Rashmika rejected Netflix’s record ₹60 crore streaming offer—double Nayanthara-Vignesh Shivan’s ₹25 crore deal—keeping their moment “intimate rather than broadcast for entertainment.” They’ve avoided social media teasers typical of celebrity weddings. Rashmika told Hollywood Reporter India: “When it’s to be spoken about, we shall.”
