Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, 'Ranabaali' represents the first collaborative project for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna as a married couple, though they have previously shared screen space in successful films like 'Geeta Govindham' and 'Dear Comrade'. The colonial India-set drama also features international actor Arnold Vosloo in a significant role, adding global appeal to this period production.

The couple is set to host a grand wedding reception in Hyderabad on March 4, expected to be attended by numerous industry colleagues and prominent personalities.
The release of 'Endhayya Saami' serves as both a promotional milestone for 'Ranabaali' and a celebration of this real-life love story, blending cinematic artistry with personal celebration in a manner rarely seen in Indian cinema.
