The wedding poster of Ranabaali featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has created a massive buzz across social media, and now director Rahul Sankrityan has revealed the emotional effort behind its creation. The vintage-style poster, which was released along with wedding song glimpses from the film, received an overwhelming response from audiences. The impact was even stronger as it was unveiled just hours after the couple’s real-life wedding, making fans connect with it on a deeper level.
Sharing the backstory, Rahul Sankrityan explained that the wedding poster was not designed as just another promotional image, but as a heartfelt cinematic moment. He said he has always been deeply inspired by old photographs from earlier generations. According to him, pictures taken during the time of our parents and ancestors carry a rare honesty. The people in those photographs never look artificial. They appear natural, dignified and true to life.
Since Ranabaali is set in a historical backdrop, Rahul wanted to bring that same authenticity into every frame of the film. He emphasized that weddings in the 19th century were simple yet graceful. There was no grand extravagance, but there was emotional depth and respect for the sacred bond of marriage. When Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna stepped onto the set in their wedding costumes, Rahul said they did not feel like actors performing a scene. Instead, it felt as though a real bride and groom from that era had walked into the frame. The photograph was captured using a simple backdrop and minimal lighting to preserve that vintage realism.
Rahul further added that when Vijay and Rashmika got married in real life, it brought back memories of filming the wedding sequence in Ranabaali. He remarked that sometimes cinema and real life move together in unexpected ways, making certain moments feel even more special.
Ranabaali is presented by T-Series and produced by Mythri Movie Makers under the banner of Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar. Mounted on a massive budget, the film is one of the most ambitious pan-India projects in recent times. Scheduled for a grand worldwide release on September 11, the movie is set against the backdrop of the 19th century and is inspired by real historical events that took place between 1854 and 1878 during British rule in India.
With the title glimpse already receiving tremendous appreciation and the wedding poster striking an emotional chord with fans, Ranabaali continues to build strong anticipation. The film promises a powerful blend of history, romance and grandeur, making it one of the most awaited releases of t
