South Indian film stars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have arrived in Udaipur ahead of their highly anticipated wedding, scheduled to take place on February 26 at the Mementos by ITC Hotels in Kailashpuri on the Udaipur–Nathdwara Highway. The hotel has reportedly been booked from February 24 to February 26, with preparations underway for a grand yet private celebration attended by around 230 close guests.
The couple arrived in Udaipur on separate flights on Monday morning, with Rashmika landing at Dabok Airport around 10:00 AM, followed by Vijay about 15 minutes later. Rashmika was seen wearing a blue suit paired with black sunglasses, while Vijay opted for a black jacket and dark glasses. After arriving separately, the two left the airport together for the hotel. According to media reports, the couple will host a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 3 and March 4, with several celebrities from the film industry expected to attend. The reception is rumored to be held at a premium venue in Hyderabad or Banjara Hills.
A day before flying to Udaipur, Rashmika and Vijay were also spotted at Hyderabad Airport, where Rashmika was seen wearing a tilak and covering her face with a mask, while Vijay also wore dark glasses and a mask to maintain privacy. Reports suggest that a popular Delhi-based band, known for performing at celebrity weddings, has been hired for the ceremony. The wedding planner is reportedly from Hyderabad and has previously managed weddings of high-profile personalities, including a renowned tennis player. The wedding is said to be a private affair with a strict no-phone policy to prevent inside photos or videos from leaking online.
A major security agency has reportedly been hired to ensure privacy and safety. A wedding invitation card that surfaced on social media stated that the ceremony will be a small, intimate family event. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reportedly got engaged on October 3 in Hyderabad in a private ceremony attended by close family members. Rashmika has been spotted wearing her engagement ring on multiple occasions since then, fueling speculation about their relationship.
