Rashmika Mandanna sparked fresh dating rumors with Vijay Deverakonda after posting a picture of a bouquet of red roses on Instagram. Along with the photo, she shared a heartfelt note saying, "You always know how to put a smile on my face, papal," fueling speculation that the flowers were from her rumored boyfriend. While neither Rashmika nor Vijay has confirmed their relationship, their frequent social media posts, and public appearances together continue to fuel the buzz. The two have undeniable on-screen chemistry, especially seen in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.

Professionally, Rashmika is riding high on the success of Chhaava and will soon star opposite Salman Khan in Sikandar, releasing in 2025. Vijay, meanwhile, appeared in a cameo in Kalki 2898 AD and will next be seen in Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
