Actress Rashmika Mandanna has shared the first look from her upcoming film Ranabaali, creating excitement among fans. The historical drama marks a special milestone for Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda, who recently tied the knot on February 26 in Udaipur, in the presence of close friends and family.
The couple, who previously shared screen space in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, will now be seen together again in Ranabaali. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film is one of the most anticipated projects for the duo. It also marks their first film together after marriage and their third collaboration overall.
First Collaboration After Marriage
The makers recently unveiled a surprise video, offering the first glimpse of Rashmika and Vijay from the film. The announcement has heightened anticipation among their fans, who have been waiting to see the pair reunite on screen.
Sharing the poster on her Instagram story, Rashmika expressed her happiness about the reveal. She wrote, 'This is such a lovely surprise for us 🙈🙈🙈 and now it’s a surprise for you too 🤍 This is us… Ranabaali and Jayamma.' She also added a 'Watch here ' sticker, further building excitement around the first look.
A Story Rooted in Colonial History
The official announcement of Ranabaali was made earlier on January 26, when Vijay shared the first glimpse of the film on Instagram. At the time, he confirmed that the film would have a theatrical release on September 11. Since then, the project has remained in the spotlight, especially because of the real-life bond between the lead actors.
Set in 19th-century India, Ranabaali is inspired by real-life events believed to have taken place between 1854 and 1878 during British rule. The first glimpse indicates that the film will explore a dark and intense chapter of colonial history. It references large-scale violence, economic plunder, and significant human loss during that period.
With a powerful historical backdrop and the reunion of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, Ranabaali promises to deliver a compelling cinematic experience. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the couple who will bring this intense, emotionally charged story to life on the big screen.
