The rumor mill is churning once again as Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda were spotted enjoying a cozy lunch date in Mumbai on Sunday.

The sighting, hot on the heels of Rashmika’s blockbuster release Sikandar, has reignited speculation about the duo’s long-rumored relationship, a topic that’s tantalized fans since their Geetha Govindam days.

Rashmika, fresh off her success alongside Salman Khan in the action-packed Sikandar, kept it casual yet chic in a breezy T-shirt, baggy denim, and a sports cap. Vijay, ever the style maven, complemented her in a white floral shirt, off-white trousers, and a brown beanie.

While Rashmika flashed smiles and posed for fans and paparazzi, Vijay opted for a stealthier entrance, slipping into the restaurant through a back door. The moment, captured on video, is now blazing across social media, with fans dissecting every frame.

The pair’s chemistry—on-screen in hits like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, and off-screen in frequent sightings—has kept tongues wagging for years. From shared vacations to event appearances, they’ve dropped hints aplenty, yet neither has confirmed the romance.

This latest outing, post-Sikandar’s March 30 release, only amps up the intrigue.

Rashmika’s slate is sizzling with upcoming projects like Thama, Kuberaa, and The Girlfriend, while Vijay gears up for his much-awaited Kingdom, slated for May 30. For now, though, it’s their lunch date stealing the spotlight—proof that some stories don’t need a script to keep us hooked.
