This film, which turned out to be a huge hit, significantly impacted their career paths, and the lead actors are now married. Bunny Vas, the producer of the film, shared a special video and wrote a touching message for his 'Geetha Govindam' on social media.

Seeing you both commit to each other for life is incredibly special.”

Directed by Parasuram, Geetha Govindam featured Rashmika and Vijay in the lead roles as Geetha and Govind. The movie depicted the romance between the couple, overcoming various misunderstandings. They later collaborated in the 2019 film Dear Comrade and are set to appear together in Ranabaali, marking their first project as a married couple.
The Virosh nuptials
The duration of Vijay and Rashmika's relationship is unclear, as Vijay was once speculated to be involved with a Belgian woman, and Rashmika was engaged to Rakshit Shetty. In 2020, fans observed Rashmika frequently spending time with Vijay, as they were often seen at the gym together, and she shared photos or videos from his residence. By 2022, fans also noticed them taking vacations together.
Vijay and Rashmika, affectionately called Virosh by their fans, got engaged in a private ceremony in October of the previous year. Although they were seen wearing rings, they maintained a low profile. At that time, his team informed Hindustan Times that they intended to marry in February 2026. Even after the wedding date and location were leaked, the couple remained discreet, only confirming the news on Sunday. They were seen traveling to Udaipur with friends on Monday. The pre-wedding events occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the couple getting married on Thursday.
