The Impressive TimesTirumala, October 13, 2026: Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna visited the Tirumala temple on Tuesday, drawing attention from fans as they arrived for darshan ahead of their upcoming film Ranabaali, scheduled to release in theatres on October 16.
The couple was spotted in traditional attire, with Vijay wearing a white silk kurta and pancha (dhoti), while Rashmika opted for a yellow silk saree paired with a contrasting pink blouse.
Videos shared by paparazzi on social media showed the actors entering the temple with their team and temple authorities. Their darshan reportedly proceeded relatively smoothly, but the situation became crowded as they exited the premises.
As the couple made their way towards their golf cart, several fans gathered around them, seeking photographs and opportunities to interact with the actors.
Amid the crowd, Vijay was seen holding Rashmika close and attempting to shield her as their team guided them towards the vehicle. Despite the rush, Rashmika took time to greet some fans and shake hands with them.
Videos also showed fans following the couple’s golf cart, while their team and temple authorities worked to manage the crowd.
The temple visit comes as the actors participate in promotional activities for Ranabaali, in which they share the screen.
Rashmika was absent from the film’s trailer launch in Hyderabad last Thursday because she was occupied with a shooting schedule in Mumbai. Vijay and other members of the film’s team attended the event.
After returning from Mumbai, Rashmika joined Vijay for the film’s promotional activities, including a meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay in Chennai on Monday evening.
Sharing photographs from the meeting, Vijay expressed his admiration for the Chief Minister, describing the interaction as a memorable experience and praising the insights he shared about life, work and the world. Rashmika also posted pictures from the meeting.
Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers and presented by T-Series Films.
Set in 19th-century India, the film explores famine and the impact of colonial rule. Arnold Vosloo plays the antagonist.
The film is scheduled to release in theatres on October 16, 2026, and is set to face competition from Jailer 2, starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, which is scheduled for release on October 15.
With the release approaching, the Tirumala visit and the couple’s promotional appearances have added to the buzz surrounding the film.
