Not the first time engagement rumours have circulated

While fans went into a frenzy decoding the ring, some argued it didn’t appear to be an engagement ring.
A look back at their journey
Vijay and Rashmika first worked together in the 2018 hit Geetha Govindam, which sparked dating rumours thanks to their on-screen chemistry. They teamed up again for Dear Comrade (2019), which, despite mixed reviews, was appreciated for their pairing. Fans have often noticed that Rashmika’s Instagram posts sometimes hint at locations linked to Vijay, fueling further speculation.

Vijay was last seen in Gowtam Tinnanuri’s Kingdom, which failed to leave a mark at the box office. He is set to appear in a period film directed by Rahul Sankrithyan.
