However, it was Rashmika Mandanna’s reaction to the post that grabbed the attention of social media users.

The actress shared a fire emoji while reacting to the ‘VD12’ posters, which further fueled the rumours surrounding their romance.

In January this year, several Indian media outlets reported that Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda were ready to take the next step in their relationship and would soon exchange rings.

Pertinent to note here that co-stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna started dating while shooting for ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, after the latter called off her engagement with actor-filmmaker Rakshit Shetty in 2018.

While some reports said that the two parted ways in 2020, later reports indicated that the two Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Animal’ actors were going steady with their relationship.
