Tollywood buzz reached a fever pitch on Monday as actor Allu Sirish and his fiancée Nayanika Reddy hosted a lavish pre-wedding reception ahead of their intimate wedding scheduled on 6 March 2026. The glittering evening at Allu Studios in Kokapet drew some of the biggest names in Telugu cinema and became one of the most talked-about social events of the season.
The reception doubled as a celebration of the iconic Allu family’s influence and a gathering of industry peers bidding blessings to the soon-to-be newlyweds. Close relatives, film stars, directors, producers and several prominent personalities were present to mark the occasion.
A Galaxy of Tollywood Names Attend
Among the attendees were celebrated actors Ram Charan and Allu Arjun- stalwarts of the Telugu film world and members of the extended family. Nagarjuna Akkineni, along with wife Amala, was also spotted engaging with the couple and guests. Other big names such as Nandamuri Balakrishna, Naga Chaitanya, Nani, and Rana Daggubati added to the starry attendance list.
Veteran actors Ravi Teja, Gopichand, Jagapati Babu, and Vaishnav Tej were present, mingling warmly with family and friends. The evening was not limited to just performers -producers, cinematographers, and technicians contributed to the celebratory atmosphere.
Special Appearance by Newlyweds
Adding to the evening’s glamour were recent newlyweds Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, who attended the pre-wedding festivities following their private wedding in Udaipur earlier this month. Their presence was one of the highlights of the night, drawing fans and photographers alike.
The couple, still glowing from their own wedding celebrations, shared joyous moments with the Allu family and posed for photos with several celebrities – including Allu Arjun, with whom Rashmika has previously shared screen space.
Tradition Meets Celebration
Ahead of the grand reception, Allu Sirish’s family had also hosted the traditional Pelli Koduku ceremony at their home in Hyderabad. A ritual steeped in Telugu culture, the event saw Sirish undergo the mangala snanam, where he was bathed in turmeric and sandalwood paste – a symbolic cleansing and blessing ahead of the wedding.
Family members and close friends participated in festive traditions, offering blessings and gifts to the groom-to-be. The intimate ceremony set the tone for the celebratory reception that followed.
Wedding Week Ahead
Allu Sirish and Nayanika Reddy, who have been a couple for nearly two years, are expected to wed in a private ceremony on 6 March 2026, with close family and loved ones in attendance. The pre-wedding reception will be followed by additional gatherings with extended guests and industry friends.
Sources close to the family say the wedding is being planned with both traditional and contemporary elements in mind, ensuring that celebrations reflect the couple’s personalities as well as the cultural heritage of Telugu weddings.
