Vijay Deverakonda has once again taken over the spotlight — this time not for his much-talked-about engagement with Rashmika Mandanna, but for his next cinematic venture. The actor officially announced
his new film, Rowdy Janardhan, with an auspicious pooja ceremony, confirming that National Award-winning actress Keerthy Suresh will play the female lead.
A ‘Wild Beginning’ for Rowdy Janardhan
The makers took to social media to share the announcement along with a series of pictures from the launch event. Their post read, “A Wild Beginning… LOVE – RAGE – BLOOD. The most anticipated Vijay Deverakonda x Ravi Kiran Kola’s #SVC59 has begun today with an auspicious pooja ceremony. #VDKolaMassThaandavam Begins.”

While the working title of the film is SVC59, producer Dil Raju has confirmed that the official title is Rowdy Janardhan. The project will be directed by Ravi Kiran Kola and promises to be a high-voltage action drama with strong emotional undertones — a genre Vijay has often excelled in.
Shooting Schedule and Release Expectations
According to reports, Rowdy Janardhan is set to go on floors on October 16, 2025, in Mumbai. The film marks Vijay’s first release after his wedding to actress Rashmika Mandanna, making it one of his most anticipated projects yet.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Relationship
Vijay Deverakonda has been in the headlines following reports of his engagement to long-time girlfriend and frequent co-star Rashmika Mandanna. While both have maintained a dignified silence, sources close to the couple and Vijay’s team have confirmed the news. The two were recently spotted wearing matching rings, further fueling speculation.
If reports are to be believed, Vijay and Rashmika will tie the knot in February 2026, in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Recent Work
On the work front, Vijay was last seen in Kingdom, directed by Gowtham Tinnanuri. The film follows Surya, a police constable who is assigned to infiltrate a secret island off the coast of Sri Lanka — only to discover that the leader of the smuggling syndicate there is his long-lost brother. Torn between love and duty, Surya’s emotional conflict formed the heart of the action drama.
The film also starred Satyadev, Bhagyashri Borse, Venkitesh VP, Bhoomi Shetty, and Manish Chaudhari in key roles.
What’s Next for Vijay
Following Rowdy Janardhan, Vijay also has a tentatively titled project, VD14, in the works with Rahul Sankrityan, the filmmaker behind Shyam Singha Roy. With his upcoming lineup blending action, emotion, and mass appeal, Vijay Deverakonda seems ready to return to the big screen with renewed energy — and possibly a brand-new chapter in both his career and personal life.
