They broke dawn at the shrine with a quiet Suprabhatam Seva, a ritual that lets devotees greet the deity before the sun climbs. The couple, flanked by family, whispered wishes that echo through the marble halls.
Rashmika, in a yellow silk saree that swayed with every step, paired it with a magenta blouse that caught the light like a sunrise. Vijay, a silk shirt and dhoti combo, sported his signature Ranabaali hairstyle, a nod to the film’s historical roots.
At Ranganayakula Mandapam, scholars chanted Veda Ashirvachanam, bestowing blessings that many believe will carry the film’s message of resistance and hope. The temple officials then wrapped the pair in a traditional silk cloth and handed them theertha prasadam, an offering that symbolizes purity and prosperity.
The visit comes just weeks before 'Ranabaali' hits screens on October 16, a period action drama that traces the fight against colonial rule. Fans can already feel the anticipation building, knowing the duo’s on‑screen chemistry has already won hearts in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade.
Back in Chennai, the duo met Chief Minister Vijay, sharing a brief chat that turned into a photo‑op with the press. Their day‑long itinerary underscores how the stars balance political patronage, religious tradition, and box‑office ambition—all while keeping the audience hooked.
