Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, who recently returned to the spotlight with their collaboration in the period action drama Ranabaali, are capturing attention both on and off the screen. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is set for a theatrical release on October 16, 2026, and the team has been actively promoting the film with engaging behind-the-scenes glimpses.

In a recent promotional push, Vijay Deverakonda posted a light-hearted video on Instagram from the film’s set.

Vijay affectionately referred to Rashmika as “Cute Savage” and shared that she is his daily source of entertainment, helping him unwind from the intensity of filming. This candid moment has quickly gained traction online, with the video going viral across social media platforms.

Ranabaali, which stars both Vijay and Rashmika, is helmed by Rahul Sankrityan, known for his previous work in the Telugu industry. The film’s promotional strategy has included several videos that highlight the camaraderie and chemistry between the leads, further fueling anticipation among Telugu cinema fans. Earlier this year, Rashmika Mandanna’s emotional farewell from the Ranabaali set was noted, where both the director and Vijay bid her a heartfelt goodbye.

With the release date approaching, the buzz around Ranabaali continues to grow, especially as fans eagerly share and comment on these personal glimpses from the set.
