Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda Celebrate with Exclusive Hyderabad Reception
Newlyweds Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda hosted their highly anticipated wedding reception in Hyderabad on March 4, 2026, following their dreamy Udaipur wedding on February 26. The event at Taj Krishna in Banjara Hills was a strictly invite-only affair, with security measures implemented to ensure safety and prevent public gatherings.
Security and Guest List Details
Due to consultations with authorities, the guest list was further restricted beyond the original plan, which included members from Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada film industries, along with political and administrative leaders. Police advised tighter controls to avoid traffic congestion and potential risks. Entry was permitted only with valid invitations, and the couple requested that uninvited individuals not visit the venue.
The star-studded turnout featured prominent figures like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, actor Sreeleela, filmmaker Karan Johar, and Rashmika's Cocktail 2 co-stars Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. The couple and administration worked closely to ensure smooth proceedings, with the possibility of additional receptions later to accommodate well-wishers in a structured manner.
Pre-Reception Highlights and Emotional Moments
Ahead of the reception, Rashmika met Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to formally invite him, interacting with his wife Geetha and daughter for blessings. Previously, the couple met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to extend wedding invitations. Rashmika shared pictures with the Prime Minister on X, while Vijay posted images with Amit Shah, thanking him for a Ganesh idol gift.
At a pre-reception media interaction, Vijay's "daughter-in-law" remark left Rashmika blushing, adding a personal touch to the celebrations. The wedding invitation revealed a heartfelt message: "We warmly invite you to join us and bless us at our Wedding Reception. Wednesday, 04 March, 2026 | 7:00 PM onwards, Taj Krishna, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. We look forward to celebrating together. Warm regards, Vijay (on behalf of Rashmika & myself)."
Sangeet Ceremony and Temple Visit
Days before the reception, the couple shared glimpses of their sangeet ceremony held on February 24. Vijay described it as an evening filled with "laughter," "emotions," and "surprises," wearing outfits by designer Falguni Shane Peacock. Rashmika posted videos, including one where Vijay lifted her in his arms, calling it "the night Vijay and I danced as one, surrounded by the love of our families and friends."
Additionally, the newlyweds visited a temple in Hyderabad to offer prayers, while their team distributed sweet boxes across 23 cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, and organized annadanam at multiple temples nationwide.
In a statement, Vijay and Rashmika expressed gratitude: "Your safety and happiness mean everything to us. We are deeply grateful for your blessings and support, and we request your cooperation in helping us keep this celebration safe and joyful for everyone." The celebration highlighted their commitment to a secure and memorable event for all involved.
