Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda melt hearts online

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are set to reunite on the big screen with their upcoming film Ranabaali, marking their first on-screen appearance together since their marriage.

The much-awaited period action drama has already created excitement among fans, and the release of its first song, Endhayya Saami, has given audiences another reason to look forward to the film. The romantic track has received attention for the couple’s chemistry, but their adorable interaction on Instagram has also become a talking point among fans.

Rashmika, 30, recently shared a short clip from Endhayya Saami on Instagram. Alongside the video, the actress penned a loving message for her husband, showing that their on-screen chemistry continues to attract attention even after their marriage.

“It’s crazy that he is all mine, but I still can’t stop crushing on him,” Rashmika wrote.

Her sweet confession quickly caught Vijay’s attention. The 37-year-old actor responded to his wife’s message with an equally affectionate reply, leaving fans delighted by their exchange.

“I am blessed. I will miss Jayamma. But then I have you for life,” Vijay replied.

The exchange refers to Rashmika’s character Jayamma in Ranabaali, adding another personal touch to their social media conversation. Their playful yet romantic messages have further increased the excitement surrounding their first film together as a married couple.

The two actors have previously shared the screen in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, where their performances and chemistry earned them a strong following. Their return together in Ranabaali has therefore become one of the most anticipated aspects of the upcoming movie.

Set against the backdrop of the devastating Madras Famine of 1876–78, Ranabaali takes audiences back to 19th-century South India. The story follows a rebellious warrior who stands up against British colonial authority while fighting to protect his people.

Vijay plays the central character in the period drama, portraying a determined warrior who becomes involved in a struggle against a powerful British commissioner. His character is driven by the desire to protect his community as tensions rise under colonial rule.

Rashmika plays Jayamma, the warrior’s wife, who stands by him during his difficult journey. Her character is expected to have an important role in the story as the couple faces the challenges surrounding them.

Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo also joins the cast as Sir Theodore Hector, a British colonial official who serves as the film’s primary antagonist. His character is set to come into conflict with Vijay’s warrior as the story explores resistance, power and the fight against colonial oppression.

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The film combines historical drama, action and romance, with Vijay and Rashmika’s real-life relationship adding an extra layer of interest to their characters’ relationship on screen.

With the first song now released, anticipation surrounding the movie is expected to continue building. Fans are particularly eager to see how the couple’s chemistry translates into their roles as husband and wife in the period setting.

Ranabaali is scheduled to arrive in theatres on October 16, 2026, bringing Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna back together on the big screen in what will be their first cinematic collaboration since their marriage.
