Power Couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna Confirms Engagement, Set to Tie the Knot in February 2026
After years of fervent fan speculation and close-guarded silence, one of the most beloved pairs in Indian cinema, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, have officially confirmed their engagement. A representative from Vijay Deverakonda’s team confirmed the joyous news to Hindustan Times on Saturday morning, putting an end to years of dating rumours that first sparked on the sets of their blockbuster films.
The stars, whose on-screen chemistry ignited the box office in hits like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, are now officially moving towards a real-life union. The team also revealed that the much-anticipated wedding is scheduled to take place in February 2026, promising one of the biggest celebrity events in the Indian film industry.
The romance between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has captivated millions of fans since their first collaboration. They initially paired up for the 2018 romantic-comedy ‘Geetha Govindam,’ where their fresh and undeniable rapport instantly became a national sensation.
The success of Geetha Govindam quickly led to their second project, the intense love story ‘Dear Comrade’ in 2019. While the actors consistently maintained that they were merely close friends, their palpable on-screen connection and frequent off-screen appearances together relentlessly fuelled dating rumours.
Earlier this year, both actors had subtly hinted in interviews that they were not single, without explicitly naming each other, adding more anticipation to the long-standing gossip. The official confirmation from Vijay’s team, reported by Hindustan Times, has now turned a seven-year-long rumour mill into a celebratory reality.
Sources indicate that the engagement ceremony itself was an intimate and private affair, held at Vijay Deverakonda’s residence in Hyderabad. The low-key ring ceremony included only immediate family members and a few very close friends, reflecting the couple’s long-standing preference for privacy in their personal lives.
While fans are eagerly awaiting an official social media post or pictures from the actors themselves, the confirmation from the team acts as the green signal for a grand celebration to come.
The decision to schedule the wedding for February 2026 allows both stars to manage their hectic professional commitments. Rashmika Mandanna is currently balancing a packed schedule with multiple Telugu and Hindi projects, including the upcoming Thamma and Cocktail 2. Similarly, Vijay Deverakonda continues to line up high-profile films following his recent releases. The early announcement of the wedding date provides a clear runway for both stars to complete their current projects before they embark on their marital journey.
The news has sent social media into a frenzy, with hashtags related to the couple trending worldwide. Fans, who have followed their journey from the sweet college romance of Geetha Govindam to the political intensity of Dear Comrade, are expressing overwhelming joy and relief that their favourite reel-life couple has become a real-life power pair. The wedding is now set to be one of the most anticipated events for fans across Tollywood and the nation.
