Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda celebrated his 36th birthday on Friday, receiving special wishes from actress Rashmika Mandanna, who took to social media to extend her greetings. Rashmika, often linked with Vijay in both personal and professional circles, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram Stories, writing, “I’m late again… but happiest birthday, Vizzu. Wishing your days be filled with blessings, love, happiness, health, wealth, peace, and everything else.”
The two actors, who previously co-starred in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, have long been the subject of dating rumours, though neither has confirmed the relationship. Their occasional exchanges on social media and overlapping travel snapshots continue to fuel speculation among fans and followers.
Adding to the birthday celebrations, the makers of Vijay’s upcoming film VD14 released the first look poster on Friday. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the poster depicts Vijay in a meditative pose at a place of worship, dressed in a simple dhoti with visible scars on his back and long hair, hinting at a transformative role. The production house posted, “The gods gave him strength. The war gave him a purpose. Wishing Vijay Deverakonda a very happy birthday from team #VD14.”
Currently, Vijay is awaiting the release of his high-budget project Kingdom. Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna remains occupied with multiple ventures, including The Girlfriend, Kubera, Tama, and Rainbow.
