Rashmika Mandanna Extends Personal Invitation to Telangana Chief Minister
Newlywed actress Rashmika Mandanna made a significant visit on Sunday, meeting Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to personally invite him to her upcoming Hyderabad wedding reception scheduled for March 4. Accompanied by her family team as part of post-wedding formalities, the actress engaged in a warm interaction with the state's highest elected official.
Family Blessings and Formal Invitations
During the meeting at the Chief Minister's residence, Rashmika spent quality time with Revanth Reddy's wife, Geetha Reddy, and their daughter. Visuals from the visit captured the emotional moment when Geetha Reddy offered her blessings to the newly married actress, creating a touching scene of traditional respect and familial warmth.
The visit represents a continuation of Rashmika's personal invitation campaign, following her recent meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah shortly after her wedding. The actress had previously shared photos online with the caption, "Meeting Honourable Prime Minister @narendramodi sir and spending time talking about our culture and history was so special."
Temple Prayers and Nationwide Celebrations
Earlier on the same morning, Rashmika and her husband Vijay Deverakonda stepped out in Hyderabad to offer prayers at a local temple, seeking blessings for their married life ahead. Simultaneously, their team executed an extensive nationwide celebration initiative that included:
- Large-scale distribution of sweet boxes across 23 major Indian cities
- Thousands of boxes shared with the public as part of wedding celebrations
- Annadanam ceremonies organized at several temples across the country
Private Udaipur Wedding Ceremony
The couple officially tied the knot on February 26 in Udaipur, Rajasthan, in an intimate ceremony attended only by close friends and family members. The wedding was deliberately kept private and exclusive, with only a select group of guests receiving invitations to witness the union of the popular film stars.
Upcoming Cinematic Collaboration: 'Ranabaali'
The newlyweds will soon share screen space in the historical drama Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan. The director recently shared profound insights about the film's wedding poster, revealing it was captured as a genuine moment rather than a staged promotional image.
"While building the world of Ranabaali, I wanted that same sincerity," Sankrityan explained. "The late 1800s were not glamorous times. They were harsh, grounded, deeply rooted in soil and survival. But within that world, marriages carried dignity. Weight. Permanence."
He further elaborated on the magical moment when Rashmika and Vijay arrived on set in wedding costumes: "They didn't look like actors playing dress-up. They looked like they had travelled through time. What moved me most was how both of them slipped into the moment, controlled Time and make it happen. Like a memory pulled from their forgotten trunk. And when it aligns with their real wedding - it feels surreal."
The director concluded with a philosophical observation: "Sometimes cinema and life nod at each other. That timelessness - that nostalgia - is one of the strongest pillars of RANABAALI. Some bonds are eternal. And sometimes, I feel this is their marriage picture from their past lives."
The Hyderabad reception on March 4 promises to be a significant event, bringing together political dignitaries, film industry colleagues, and close associates of the popular couple. Rashmika's personal approach to extending invitations reflects her commitment to traditional values while navigating her high-profile public life.
