Rashmika Mandanna Wraps ‘Ranabaali’ Shoot, Shares Heartfelt Hug with Vijay Deverakonda

Rashmika Mandanna has officially put a stop to the cameras for her upcoming period action‑drama Ranabaali. The actress, who slips into the 19th‑century warrior’s world as Jayamma, announced the wrap‑up with a breezy Instagram post that felt half celebration, half nostalgia.

What made the moment extra special was the surprise cameo of her real‑life partner, Vijay Deverakonda. In the short video shared by Mythri Movie Makers, a smiling Rashmika, glowing with her baby bump and draped in a traditional saree, is greeted by director Rahul Sankrityan, who gives her a warm hug. Before the clip ends, Vijay steps into frame and embraces her, the two sharing a laugh that feels both intimate and cinematic.

Fans flooded the comments section with love notes, while the couple’s own captions added a personal touch. Rashmika wrote, “And that’s a wrap for me as Jayamma, guys! Jayamma is one for the hearts! I hope you feel the same when you watch Ranabaali on Oct 16.” Vijay, ever the joker, added, “Cannot believe we have reached the end of making this film :)) Will miss living the lives of Ranabaali and Jayamma.”

Ranabaali is set against the backdrop of British‑ruled Andhra Pradesh between 1854 and 1878, drawing inspiration from the rugged warrior Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali and the lesser‑known Rayalaseema region. Vijay Deverakonda takes on the titular role, while Rashmika’s Jayamma is poised to be the film’s emotional core.

The project marks a few firsts: it’s the first on‑screen collaboration for the newlyweds since their February wedding, and it reunites them after previous hits like Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam. The film also boasts an interesting international flavor, with Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo in a key supporting role.

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers (with T‑Series presenting), the movie’s music is courtesy of the celebrated duo Ajay‑Atul. As the crew says their goodbyes, anticipation builds for the October 16 theatrical release, promising audiences a blend of history, drama, and the chemistry that only Rashmika and Vijay can deliver.

Until then, the Instagram clip serves as a sweet reminder that behind the larger‑than‑life characters are two people sharing a life—and a lot of love—off‑camera.
