ViRosh Makes a Special Appearance

The highlight for many fans was the arrival of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda. This marks one of the couple’s first major public appearances since their dual Telugu and Kodava wedding ceremonies on February 26.

The duo, affectionately dubbed "Virosh" by their massive fan base, was seen posing for photographs with the entire Allu family. Their presence at the event underscores their close personal ties with the family; Vijay Deverakonda has long shared a "brotherly" bond with the Allu siblings, while Rashmika’s professional collaboration with Allu Arjun in the Pushpa franchise has cemented her place as a family friend.

Road to the Wedding

The Allu family has been in a festive mood for weeks, starting with a yacht party in Dubai and a traditional "Pasupu" ceremony in February. While the Pelli Koduku was a private family matter, the celebrations are set to scale up significantly in the coming days.

On March 2, a grand pre-wedding reception is scheduled at Allu Studios for members of the Telugu film industry. On the other hand, on March 4, Rashmika and Vijay are expected to host their own wedding reception at Taj Krishna in Hyderabad. Allu Sirish and Nayanika Reddy will officially tie the knot on March 6. Allu Sirish To Marry Nayanika Reddy on March 6; Pre-Wedding Festivities With Tollywood Celebs Planned on THIS Date.
