Rashmika Mandanna–Vijay Deverakonda wedding buzz

Speculation around Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding has resurfaced, wrapped in February’s aesthetic haze. The two are reportedly said to have tied the knot in Udaipur. However, there has been conflicting information regarding the date, with reports suggesting the wedding was rescheduled from February 26 to February 5.




The wedding is said to be a close-knit affair with a limited guest list comprising family and close friends. While it is being described as “low-key,” sources claim it won’t be minimal when it comes to décor and regional celebrations. A video showing preparations for a wedding in Udaipur has gone viral, raising eyebrows on social media.

‘The Raja Saab’ OTT trim

Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab has reportedly been edited for its OTT release, with around 10 minutes trimmed from the film.

Reports claiming that Jana Nayagan had been trimmed by over 20 minutes due to censor issues sparked significant buzz online. According to the rumours, “problematic scenes” were removed and the film was re-edited. Producer G. Dhananjayan, however, dismissed all such claims on X. He clarified that there has been no trimming, no re-edit, and that the film hasn’t even gone for censor certification yet, calling the reports completely fake.
