Vijay Deverakonda, the popular Telugu actor, is taking a break from his film commitments ahead of his upcoming wedding with Rashmika Mandanna, scheduled for February 26, 2026, at a luxurious palace in Udaipur. Although neither Vijay nor Rashmika has officially confirmed the wedding, sources close to the couple suggest it\'s happening.\r\nThe actor is currently juggling two big projects, Ranabaali, directed by Rahul, and Rowdy Janardhana, directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, both of which have intense action sequences. Given the demanding nature of these films, Vijay has decided to take a month long break from shooting, starting now until mid March.&nbsp;\r\nVijay\'s decision to take a break is likely to allow him to focus on his personal life and prepare for the big day. The wedding is expected to be an intimate affair, with only close family and friends in attendance, followed by a grand reception in Hyderabad.\r\nRashmika and Vijay\'s romance began on the sets of Geetha Govindam in 2018, and they have since become one of the most beloved couples in Telugu cinema. Their engagement was confirmed in October 2025, and fans are eagerly awaiting the wedding. With the wedding just around the corner, fans are speculating about the couple\'s post wedding plans and upcoming projects. Vijay and Rashmika are expected to resume shootings for their films in the second half of March.\r\n<div></div>

Now, marking Valentine&rsquo;s Day, the makers have unveiled the second glimpse.\r\nThe first glimpse introduced the protagonist, his family dynamics, their expectations around marriage, and eventually his first meeting with the girl. The newly released second glimpse shifts gears, presenting a more mature and grounded conversation between the lead pair- who connect through a dating app and open up about their past experiences, during a coffee date.\r\nWhat begins as a light-hearted, humorous exchange gradually takes an intriguing turn when the discussion moves to caste, followed by the protagonist&rsquo;s candid thoughts on how modern-day relationships work.
