Tuesday’s fan meet in Hyderabad became the latest chapter in what fans have fondly begun calling the “Virosh celebrations.”

Grand reception in Hyderabad

The celebrations will culminate with a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4, where several prominent figures from the Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada film industries are expected to attend.

According to the couple’s team, the reception was initially planned as a large gathering that would also include leaders from political and administrative circles. However, the event has now been confirmed as strictly invite-only due to security reasons.

In a statement shared with fans, Vijay and Rashmika said, “Your safety and happiness means everything to us. We are deeply grateful for your blessings and support, and we request your cooperation in helping us keep this celebration safe and joyful for everyone.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been invited to join the celebrations.
