Vijay Deverakonda Supports Rashmika in Her New Film

Actor Rashmika Mandanna has expressed heartfelt gratitude for her rumoured fiancé, Vijay Deverakonda, following his public support for her latest film, The Girlfriend.

Taking to her X handle, Rashmika wrote, “It is something powerful. It is something important. It is going to be hard to digest - So well put! Thankyou. It's a SLOW BURN that LASTS LONG.”

She revealed that Vijay has been associated with the film from its very inception and shared her hope that he would be proud of her performance.

Earlier, Vijay had shared the trailer of The Girlfriend, praising the film and acknowledging the efforts of the cast and crew. In his message, he stated:

"I know they have made something powerful. Something important. Something that will be hard to digest. I know the performances by all actors are top class and what @23_rahulr has created with @iamRashmika and @Dheekshiths and @ItsAnuEmmanuel is going to create an impact. Tomorrow we will all see this happen with #TheGirlfriend, go experience it in the theaters and think. Lots of love and big hugs to the entire cast and crew."

The mutual admiration between Rashmika and Vijay comes amid reports that the Dear Comrade stars have recently got engaged. According to sources, the engagement ceremony was a private affair, attended by close family members, and took place on October 3 at Vijay Deverakonda’s residence in Hyderabad. While there has been no official confirmation from the couple, reports suggest their wedding is scheduled for February 2026.

On the professional front, The Girlfriend, starring Rashmika Mandanna and Dheekshith Shetty, released in theatres on November 7. Directed by Rahul Ravindran, the Telugu film explores the complexities of a romantic relationship. The story revolves around a girlfriend who seeks a "small break," only for Dheekshith’s character to exhibit volatile and red-flag behaviour, portraying a tense and emotional narrative.

Meanwhile, Rashmika is also gearing up for another major release, Cocktail 2, where she will be seen in the lead role.
