Just a day after tying the knot, Bollywood’s favourite South Indian power couple is already gearing up for their next big screen adventure. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s first film as husband and wife, Ranabaali, has fans buzzing with excitement. This period drama marks their third on-screen pairing and looks set to redefine historical storytelling in Indian cinema.

Blending Traditions: The Magical Udaipur Wedding

On February 26, 2026, Vijay and Rashmika exchanged vows in a breathtaking double-ceremony wedding at ITC Mementos in Udaipur. The morning began with intimate Telugu Hindu rituals honouring Vijay’s roots, followed by a heartfelt Kodava ceremony celebrating Rashmika’s Coorgi heritage in the evening. Surrounded by family, close friends, and the scenic Aravalli hills, the couple shared their first pictures online, calling it “The Wedding of Virosh” – a nod to the affectionate fan nickname they’ve cherished for years. The celebrations felt personal, rooted, and full of old-world charm, perfectly capturing the couple’s love story that began years ago on set.

Third Time’s the Charm: A Proven On-Screen Duo

Ranabaali isn’t just another project – it’s the couple’s third collaboration after the blockbuster hits Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. Fans still swoon over their effortless chemistry, and this time the stakes are higher. As newlyweds, their real-life bond is expected to bring even deeper emotional layers to the screen. Rashmika steps into the role of Jayamma, a strong, emotionally rich character, while Vijay leads as the fierce freedom fighter Ranabaali.

Rahul Sankrityan’s Visionary Direction

Helmed by talented director Rahul Sankrityan, the film is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and presented by T-Series. Sankrityan, known for his knack for blending intense action with heartfelt storytelling, has crafted a narrative that feels both grand and intimate. With Hollywood star Arnold Vosloo playing the formidable British antagonist Sir Theodore Hector, the project promises international-level production values.

Journey into 19th-Century India (1854-1878)

Set against the backdrop of British colonial rule between 1854 and 1878, Ranabaali explores themes of resistance, famine, and unwavering courage. The story draws inspiration from real historical struggles, following a rebel branded a “savage” by the British yet fighting for his people’s dignity. The period setting – complete with rustic villages, dramatic landscapes, and era-specific costumes – offers a fresh take on India’s untold freedom stories.

Savage Vibes: Vijay’s Powerful Teaser Steals the Show

Vijay recently dropped the first teaser, and it’s pure fire. Titled with a bold “Savage” reference, the glimpse shows him in a rugged, intense avatar – long hair, fiery eyes, and raw determination. The visuals have already crossed millions of views, with fans calling it one of his most powerful looks yet. Rashmika’s presence in the teaser hints at a layered emotional journey alongside the high-octane action.

Mark Your Calendars: September 11 Release

The wait is almost over. Ranabaali is scheduled for a grand pan-India theatrical release on September 11, 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. With its mix of romance, rebellion, and stunning visuals, this film is poised to be the ultimate post-wedding gift for “Virosh” fans.

From a dreamy Udaipur wedding to a fiery historical saga, Vijay and Rashmika are proving that love and cinema make the perfect pair. Ranabaali isn’t just their next movie – it’s the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. Get ready for an unforgettable ride!
