Wedding bells for the "National Crush" Rashmika Mandanna and Tollywood's "Rowdy Star" Vijay Deverakonda are booming louder than ever. By Saturday, February 21, 2026, leaked guest lists and itinerary details flooding the internet are the latest feature of what is currently being described as the wedding of the year. From a royal palace in Udaipur to a stately reception in Hyderabad, here’s the complete breakdown on who will attend and what to expect.
The Private Union at Udaipur: Feb 24–26
The wedding ceremony will take place on February 26, 2026, in the beautiful city of Udaipur. The couple apparently have decided to put on The Mementos by ITC Hotels. To ensure that privacy is maximal, a "No Phone Policy" was imposed, and everyone for the staff and those supplying the services in the house presumably signed tight NDAs.
The Intimate List of Guests (Udaipur):
Though the wedding is for family and very close friends only, some industry heavyweights will be there for the main parties:
- Allu Arjun & Sneha Reddy: The couple's close friends; Rashmika is currently starring in Pushpa 3 with the actor.
- Sandeep Reddy Vanga: The director that gave Vijay his career-defining Arjun Reddy and Rashmika the global smash Animal.
- Salman Khan: The Bollywood megastar who got along with both actors is said to be there attending as a special guest as well. Director Sukumar: The mastermind behind the Pushpa franchise.
- Varsha Bollamma: A very dear friend of Rashmika’s since they were both fresh-blood in the industry.
The Grand Hyderabad Reception: March 4
Although the Udaipur ceremony will be a low-key affair, the couple is preparing a lavish reception at the Taj Krishna, Hyderabad, March 4, 2026, for the entire film fraternity and political dignitaries.
The Attracted Reception Reciprocals:
- Ranbir Kapoor & Alia Bhatt: After working together in Animal that year, the couple will be flying in for the reception.
- Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Vijay’s Kushi co-star, widely regarded as a confidante within the industry.
- Ananya Panday: There are rum reports that Vijay’s Liger co-star is on the list as well as other Bollywood contemporaries such as Vicky Kaushal, Kriti Sanon and Karan Johar.
- Tollywood stalwarts such as Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu and Nandamuri Balakrishna have been said to have been personally invited.
- Political VVIPs: Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy is also going to be on the act.
Confirmation of a Secret Engagement?
To compound the frenzy, news reports have recently revealed that they got in the hearts of news that the couple secretly engaged on October 3, 2025 in a momentous ceremony at Vijay's private residence, Hyderabad, which was reportedly arranged on the spur of emotion.
The couple have since been seen wearing similar rings, but their silence has been kept until the wedding preparations in full swing this month. Fans are getting ready for the first pic since the couple supposedly left Hyderabad airport today for Udaipur, but also with the phone ban in place, we may have to wait with the couple's official "Just Married" post!
