Rashmika Mandanna Wants to 'Copy Everything' from Rumored Boyfriend Vijay Deverakonda: Here's What Happened
The grapevine about Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda has been in full swing for years now, with fans usually making assumptions about their relationship status. Despite numerous sightings, ambiguous interviews, and social media exchanges, neither Rashmika nor Vijay has ever denied or admitted their speculated romance. But recently, a romantic and impromptu moment at the trailer launch of Rashmika’s next film, Kuberaa, has set the rumor mill rolling again, and it’s all because of a cheeky question and an even cheekier answer.
Rashmika Mandanna, who is soon to release Kuberaa, was among a stellar trailer launch event recently. At an interaction session held as part of the pre-release event, Rashmika was asked to mention the traits she’d love to borrow from a couple of industry bigwigs like Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Allu Arjun.
She aptly referred to Dhanush’s multifaceted personality: his capability to act, direct, compose, and even produce music. When asked about Nagarjuna, she admired his “charm and aura.” Speaking of Allu Arjun, her Pushpa 2 co-star, she smiled and said she loved his unmatched “swag.”
But the most interesting moment came when the emcee casually dropped the name of Vijay Deverakonda, her rumored boyfriend. What followed was an endearing and very telling moment. Flashing a wide smile and blushing, Rashmika simply said, “Everything, take it all,” when asked what quality she would want to copy from Vijay. The audience instantly erupted into cheers, clearly loving the candid and affectionate response.
This small but powerful statement has once again brought the Rashmika-Vijay relationship rumors into the spotlight. The two actors, who starred together in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, have long been linked romantically. Though they’ve never addressed the speculation directly, moments like these continue to add fuel to the fire.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time the pair have been spotted doing things that suggest a close bond. In an unseen candid photo that surfaced recently, Rashmika and Vijay were seen standing in what looked like an airport queue. While both wore masks—Rashmika seemingly engrossed in her phone and Vijay hiding under a cap—it was enough for fans to recognize them and send the image trending.
While Rashmika’s recent remarks hint at a fondness for Vijay, the Kingdom actor himself has played it cool on multiple occasions. In a previous interview with Filmfare, Vijay was questioned about his dream life partner. To everyone’s surprise, he replied, saying that he wasn’t in search of a partner right now. The answer left many people confused, especially considering the current rumors regarding him and Rashmika.
In spite of this, the undeniable on-screen and off-screen chemistry between the two keeps their fans optimistic. Whether it is occasional airport sightings, matching holiday backdrops, or even mere public remarks, the Rashmika-Vijay love story keeps unfolding in the public domain silently.
Rashmika and Vijay: Caught Up In Big ProjectsIn between all this while their personal lives make the headlines, both the stars are busy making big waves professionally. Rashmika is now supporting Kuberaa, an intense film featuring industry giants such as Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Jim Sarbh. The trailer has already gone viral for its thrilling plot where Dhanush is a beggar whose fortunes change after he meets Nagarjuna’s character. Against the background of oil wars, greed, and rivalries for power, Kuberaa will be an intense cinematic experience.
Conversely, Vijay Deverakonda is gearing up for his next major release, Kingdom. While hardly any official word has been released about the movie yet, fans eagerly await seeing him back in action, particularly after the lukewarm reception to some of his earlier initiatives.
A Relationship Still Wrapped in MysteryIn an industry where famous couples first get into headlines before they’re even properly established, Rashmika and Vijay’s decision to remain deliberately vague has only left fans more curious. Rashmika’s off-the-cuff “Everything, take it all” comment isn’t quite an out-and-out confirmation, but it’s definitely adding another twist to their tale. It’s one fans will no doubt continue to keep tabs on.
Whether they are just really good friends or more, one thing is certain: Rashmika and Vijay do have something special between them that keeps winning hearts over, both onscreen and offscreen.
