Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are reportedly set to marry in Udaipur on February 26. The couple has remained tight-lipped about their wedding details. They were recently spotted at Hyderabad airport, and the Internet is convinced that the countdown has officially begun.
Earlier today, Vijay Deverakonda was seen sporting casual wear with his mask on as he walked into the airport. Soon afterwards, Rashmika Mandanna arrived separately at the same airport, surrounded by security personnel. Both refused to be photographed but acknowledged the waiting paparazzi.
What We Know So Far About the Wedding
Probable Venue
Sources say the wedding will take place at a hill resort on the outskirts of Udaipur. It is most likely to be held at The Mementoes by ITC Hotels, located 25 kilometres outside Udaipur and nestled in the Aravalli Range. The hill resort has been chosen as the couple prioritises utmost privacy.
Other potential venues doing the rounds include Raffles Udaipur and Fairmont. All these properties are located away from the city-either in the hills or on Udai Sagar Lake.
About The Mementoes
The Mementoes by ITC Hotels lies on the old route between the shrine of Nathdwara and the ancient Eklingji Temple, in a village called Kailashpuri. Sources say helicopter services may also be used to land at the hotel, which has a helipad.
The ultra-luxury hotel has 117 suites and villas. It is situated on top of a hill with beautiful views of the Aravalli Range and a man-made lake below. It features five restaurants, three banquets, and designated celebration venues.
Guests are expected to begin arriving by the 23rd for pre-wedding functions on the 24th and 25th of February. Ahead of the wedding, Vijay and Rashmika have often been spotted at Mumbai airport.
Vijay And Rashmika Got Engaged Last Year
Sources close to Vijay and Rashmika told NDTV that the couple got engaged in an intimate ceremony on Friday, October 3, last year, with family members and close friends in attendance.
Speculation was rife after Rashmika shared pictures in a saree with a tilak on her forehead. She captioned, "Happy Dussehra, my loves... This year, I'm feeling extra grateful because of all the love you've been showering on the Thamma trailer and our song... Your messages, your excitement, and your constant support make every moment bigger and happier for me. And I can't wait to see you all super soon during the promotions."
In November last year, Rashmika seemed to give a closer look at her engagement ring during a reality show.
