Actor Rashmika Mandanna is all smiles and gratitude following the heartwarming support from her rumoured fiancé Vijay Deverakonda for her latest film, The Girlfriend. Sharing her thoughts on X, Rashmika wrote, “It IS something powerful. It IS something important. It IS going to be hard to digest – So well put! Thank you. It's a SLOW BURN that LASTS LONG.” She revealed that Vijay has been a part of the film in spirit since the beginning and expressed her hope that he would be proud of her work.
Earlier, Vijay Deverakonda had shared the trailer of The Girlfriend, praising the team and highlighting the film’s impactful message. “I know they have made something powerful. Something important. Something that will be hard to digest. I know the performances by all actors are top class and what @23_rahulr has created with @iamRashmika and @Dheekshiths and @ItsAnuEmmanuel is going to create an impact,” he wrote, encouraging fans to experience the film in theatres.
The exchange of admiration comes amid reports of their private engagement. Sources suggest that the Dear Comrade stars tied the knot in a small ceremony on October 3 at Vijay’s Hyderabad residence, with both families in attendance. The wedding is reportedly scheduled for February 2026, though neither Rashmika nor Vijay has shared official confirmation or images from the ceremony.
On the work front, The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran, released in theatres on November 7. The Telugu film delves into the complexities of a modern relationship, with Rashmika’s character seeking a “small break” while Dheekshith Shetty’s character exhibits red-flag behavior. The film promises emotional depth, gripping performances, and a story that resonates with contemporary audiences.
Rashmika Mandanna also has Cocktail 2 in her upcoming slate, keeping fans excited for more of her on-screen presence. With both professional milestones and personal happiness, this seems like a golden phase for the actress.
