Vijay and Rashmika have been rumoured to be dating since they worked together in the 2018 rom-com Geetha Govindam. They also acted together in the 2019 film Dear Comrade, which further fuelled the rumours. The couple, however, never confirmed their relationship, even when Vijay was rumoured to be dating other people. Vijay’s team confirmed to HT early in October that he is engaged to Rashmika. While the actors never confirmed their engagement publicly, they will tie the knot in February 2026.

Vijay was last seen in Gowtam Tinnanuri's Kingdom and will soon star in a yet-to-be-titled film by Rahul Sankrithyan. Rashmika, who was last seen in Kuberaa, will star in Thamma, which is releasing in theatres today, on October 21. She also has The Girlfriend in Telugu and Cocktail 2 in Hindi lined up.
