South Indian stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna a romance shrouded in “Secret Romance” have finally got closer to this grand finale. If fans and public reports and guest lists on gossip are anything to go by, then they will be tying the knot on February 26, 2026, in the landmark city of Udaipur, Rajasthan. As the date draws near, news of the ultra-private ceremony emerged, detailing a ceremony following a wedding protocol influenced by Bollywood’s aristocrats.
The Leaked Invitation and Location
The latest photos floated around via messaging platforms have made it seem like a royal wedding in Udaipur, a city frequented by celebrities because of its palatial settings. The leaked invitation lists February 26 as the date of marriage with a lavish reception in Hyderabad on March 4. There are no formal guarantees either by the families, but the sheer detail in these leaks has persuaded fans, in hindsight, that the “ViRash” wedding is real.
A “Digital Blackout” for Guests
Vijay and Rashmika reportedly have implemented a strict "No-Phone" Policy to ensure that their special moments do not leak to the public prematurely.
- Mobile ban: Guests, such as only close family and childhood friends, have been asked not to bring mobile phones in with them during the wedding rituals.
- Security checks: Specialized security teams will maintain a checking station where devices must be deposited prior to access to the venue.
The image has been put together with the dedicated team which has a good NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) to have the professional photography and videography team. The entire crew, too, has penned a contract pledging not to share or leak any footage before the couple officially makes that official.
This is a strategy similar to that used by Bollywood couples such as Katrina Kaif-Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani-Sidharth Malhotra, whose wedding photos were only ever viewed if they voluntarily selected to publish in public.
A Limited Line of guests, Huge Reception
Remarkably, we are aware that few film celebrities have been invited to the actual wedding ceremony, which will take place in Udaipur. The couple says they hope it will be a private affair, away from the limelight. But the industry's big names shouldn’t fret. The March 4 Hyderabad Reception is slated for a gala with lots of stars. Rashmika, who has worked across the Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi industries, hopes to hold a huge celebration to celebrate their co-workers, directors and producers in the city they both call home.
The Challenge of Privacy
Keeping it secret is the biggest challenge for the couple, owing to their huge pan-India following. By appointing a dedicated security team to monitor "leaks" of data that could reveal more information about the venue, Vijay and Rashmika aren’t playing by any rules. The first official moment of the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Deverakonda is awaited by fans long.
