The South Indian stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna appear to have made a serious choice to celebrate their wedding on what has been described as the “Wedding of the Year”. Notably this couple has declined an outrageous ₹60 crore proposal from a world-renowned OTT conglomerate which it said would give them the exclusive streaming rights for their wedding.
By the close of the agreement, as had happened with a handful of major celebrity weddings that garnered coverage in digital space, and after a story had been recorded, it would have been easy for the audience to relate to their travels, the ceremony pre-wedding, and the grand spectacle to happen next year. But the couple have apparently chosen on another route.
Why They Said ‘No’ to the ₹60 Crore Deal
The couple has made the decision to refuse and have a multi-crore offer on the grounds of privacy and intimacy, industry insiders in the know.
- Maintaining the "Private" in Private Life: Vijay and Rashmika may be the faces, but they remain cautious as far as their romantic lives concern. They want their wedding to be a personal celebration told to family and close friends, not a “scripted production” for a worldwide audience, sources suggest.
- No Reality Retakes: A streaming deal typically includes camera crews in every room, multiple retakes of moments meant to look “real,” scripted interviews. The couple allegedly thought that such a setup would steal the sanctity and spontaneity of the traditional rites.
- Respecting your Guests: The couple reportedly wanted their guests to experience celebration without the burden of a television production crew filming for a commercial project, and included on their guest list Tollywood and Bollywood celebrities.
Wedding Details - What We Know So Far
The actors have not yet made a formal statement, and there has been a fever of talk of their February 2026 nuptials.
- Date & Venue: Details on the wedding date are reported to be February 26, 2026 in the "City of Lakes", Udaipur. A heritage palace has apparently been reserved for a three-day feast.
- The Idea: The ceremony is thought to combine traditional Telugu and Coorgi (Rashmika's roots) traditions.
- Reception: The film fraternity and press at Hyderabad will enjoy a grand reception after the private ritual in Rajasthan.
The "ViRosh" Legacy
Vijay and Rashmika’s chemistry first lit screens on fire after the 2018 hit Geetha Govindam, which was then cemented in Dear Comrade. For years, “ViRosh” (as fans put it) said they were “just good friends,” even as they were seen on secret vacations together. Now that they are said to have engaged each other in October 2025, fans have been eager for the first of their bride and groom photographs.
