Newlyweds Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have announced that their wedding reception in Hyderabad on March 4 will be a strictly invitation-only event, citing security measures and police guidance amid overwhelming public excitement.
Rashmika, Vijay issue statement for invite-only reception
In an official statement, the couple clarified that while their wedding has become one of the most celebrated occasions in the country, drawing immense love and attention from across India, entry to the reception will be tightly regulated. The note stated: “Virosh Wedding Reception to Remain a Strictly Invitation-Only Event; Fans and Guests are being Requested to Support Safety Measures.”
The reception was originally planned as an exclusive gathering for members of the film fraternity across Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada industries, along with distinguished leaders from political and administrative circles.
