Sharing the trailer, Vijay wrote, “I know they have made something powerful. Something important. Something that will be hard to digest. I know the performances by all actors are top class, and what @23_rahulr has created with @iamRashmika, @Dheekshiths, and @ItsAnuEmmanuel is going to create an impact. Tomorrow we will all see this happen with #TheGirlfriend — go experience it in theatres and think. Lots of love and big hugs to the entire cast and crew.”

Rashmika responded to his tweet, writing, “It is something powerful. It IS something important. It IS going to be hard to digest — so well put! Thank you. It’s a slow burn that lasts long. @TheDeverakonda you’ve indirectly been a part of this film since the beginning, and I really hope that you’ll be proud of me for this one! #TheGirlfriend.”

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s Relationship

Rashmika and Vijay got engaged in a private ceremony in Hyderabad in October 2025. While the couple did not make an official announcement, Vijay’s team confirmed the engagement to Hindustan Times and shared that the two plan to tie the knot in February 2026. The duo first worked together in Geetha Govindam (2018) and later in Dear Comrade (2019), sparking ongoing dating rumours that have now been confirmed.

About The Girlfriend

The trailer of The Girlfriend portrays a seemingly fairy-tale romance that takes a dark turn as Dheekshith Shetty’s character becomes increasingly aggressive, revealing the toxic side of the relationship. Directed and written by Rahul Ravindran, the Telugu film stars Rashmika Mandanna, Dheekshith Shetty, and Anu Emmanuel in lead roles, along with Rao Ramesh and Rohini in pivotal parts.

Produced by Vidya Koppineedi and Dheeraj Mogilineni under Geetha Arts and Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainment, The Girlfriend features music composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab. The film is set to release in theatres worldwide on Friday.
