Social media is on fire with reports that Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are planning to get married on February 26 in Udaipur. According to these reports, the wedding will be a private affair held at a royal palace and attended only by close family members and friends. While the wedding itself is expected to be low key, a grand reception is reportedly planned in Hyderabad on March 4. This event is said to be a big one, with film celebrities, top politicians, and business leaders expected to attend.
At the same time, another discussion has started around privacy and OTT platforms. Reports claim that Netflix offered around Rs. 60 crores to buy exclusive rights to stream or document the wedding. However, Vijay Deverakonda is said to have politely turned down the offer.
This decision caught attention because Netflix had earlier acquired the wedding rights of Nayanthara for around Rs. 25 crores, which created massive a lot of buzz, for good and bad reasons. After that, OTT platforms started seeing celebrity weddings as high value content. In some cases, the money offered is said to be more than what actors earn from films.
Celebrity weddings attract huge interest from fans and often feel like festivals. OTT platforms want to cash in on this by live streaming weddings or releasing wedding documentaries. However, many stars prefer privacy over money and choose to keep such moments away from the public eye. Vijay and Rashmika are reportedly among those who want to celebrate their special day only with their families and close friends.
Several other celebrity couples have taken similar decisions. Siddharth and Aditi Rao Hydari opted for a simple, traditional wedding despite big OTT offers. Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala also kept things private. Bollywood couple Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra reportedly declined similar offers as well.
Many netizens have appreciated such choices and praised stars who put privacy above profit. For now, it remains to be seen how far the trend of streaming celebrity weddings will go and how many stars will choose money over personal space. Fans are appreciating Vijay and Rashmika for believing wedding memories are personal and priceless and should not be sold, no matter how big the amount is.
