As of now, no confirmed venue has been announced. Media speculation suggests it may be in a luxurious location (possibly Hyderabad or a scenic destination), but that remains unverified at this time.
Estimated Cost & Scale
For a celebrity wedding of this magnitude, industry insiders expect the cost to run into tens to hundreds of crores, depending on scale, guest count, decor, and security. (While no official number is known yet, comparable star weddings in India have crossed ₹50 crore budgets.)
The couple may spare no expense given their status and desire for a grand celebration, combining traditional customs with lavish production.
Expected Guests & Celebrity Attendance
Given both celebrities’ networks across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi industries, the guest list is expected to feature a star-studded lineup: top actors, directors, producers, industry figures, and influential personalities.
While confirmed guest names aren’t available yet, past instances show Rashmika and Vijay often attend high-profile events together (e.g. the reception of Dil Raju’s nephew), so similar industry attendance is expected. The Indian Express+1
It’s likely regional stalwarts from Tollywood, Bollywood, and the southern film fraternities will grace the occasion.
Wedding Events & Format (Likely)
The wedding could include:
Traditional ceremonies (e.g. engagement rituals, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet)
Main wedding ceremony in sanctified format
Reception / grand gala — a big celebration with performances
Post-wedding brunch / mehmaan-khana for close guests
Security, guest logistics, elaborate decor, lighting, international-level catering, celebrity performances, and coordinated media coverage are expected to be part of the plan.
