“Who is your favourite co-star?” Anand asked, paving the way to the crowd chanting Vijay’s name. “Anand, you are family. Why are you putting me in a spot?” Rashmika said before breaking into a big laugh. She then said, “Rowdy Boy,” hinting at Vijay and left the crowds cheering.

There have been rumors of Rashmika and Vijay's relationship for some time now. Two films that Vijay and Rashmika collaborated on were Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Despite rumors to the contrary, they never admitted or denied their relationship in public.

In April this year, the rumoured couple reportedly celebrated Rashmika Mandanna’s birthday together in Abu Dhabi. Even though the actors did not confirm their vacation, netizens noticed that Vijay Deverakonda dropped a video on his Instagram stories from the same location from where Rashmika also shared her pictures.

Prior to this, the rumoured couple’s trip to the Maldives fuelled speculation about a possible marriage announcement. It was also said that Vijay and Rashmika would get exchanged soon. However, the Liger actor later clarified that he was neither getting engaged nor getting married. “I’m not getting engaged or married in February. It feels like the press just wants to get me married every two years. I hear this rumour every year. They’re just walking around waiting to catch me and get me married,” he told Lifestyle Asia.

Regarding her professional career, Rashmika has a lot of projects coming up. Viewers are excited to see her in Pushpa 2. The actress returns to her role as Srivalli reunited with Allu Arjun. A song starring her was just published to get fans even more excited while they wait to see what she has in store for them.
