Love, laughter, and a touch of sport set the tone for the upcoming wedding of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, as the celebrations began with a playful and deeply personal twist. Instead of a conventional pre-wedding function, the couple turned their Udaipur venue into a lively cricket ground, giving friends and family a chance to bond over a game that felt both nostalgic and intimate. With ‘VIROSH,’ the name coined by their fans, emblazoned on the centre of the field, the match marked their transition from co-stars of ‘Geetha Govindam’ to a couple ready to take their relationship to the next level.

The cricket match was not just a game but a meaningful idea. The Virosh name, first given by fans, has now become the official theme of their wedding. Medals, bats, and match props carried their wedding date, making the event more emotional. By bringing in gully cricket-style fun inside a luxury resort, the couple created a space where both families could bond easily. What it amounted to was a depiction of how they took their journey and their devotion to ordinary things, balanced by the grandeur of the celebration.
