Bollywood and the South film industries shared a genuinely warm crossover moment in Hyderabad on March 4, 2026, when Kriti Sanon turned up to celebrate newlyweds Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda at their much talked about reception. But it was Cocktail 2 director Homi Adajania who ended up giving fans the most wholesome takeaway from the night, a set of insider pictures that screamed friendship first, co-stars later.
With the wedding festivities of “ViRosh” drawing massive attention, the reunion also doubled up as a sparkling meet-up for the Cocktail 2 team, with Adajania, Sanon and Mandanna all in the same frame, smiling like old friends.
The Latest Update From The Virosh Reception
Adajania shared a picture with Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna from the reception, positioning himself between his leading ladies, and captioned it, “Only love and happiness for you loons.” The post instantly lit up fan timelines, especially because it captured the duo in a candid, comfortable vibe that felt far removed from typical promotional posing.
The evening also delivered a fun social media moment between the director and Kriti. Adajania posted a story congratulating the couple and jokingly wrote, “Congrats guys. Kriti can you stay out of this?” Sanon re-shared it with her reply, “Hahaha… Never. Love them.”
The reception itself was hosted in Hyderabad, Telangana, and was kept invitation-only. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna also shared a note requesting cooperation around safety and crowd management, writing, “Your safety and happiness mean everything to us. We are deeply thankful for your love and blessings, and we request your cooperation in helping us keep this celebration safe and joyful for everyone (sic).”
