Vijay took to X and wrote, “What a glorious atmosphere in the Telugu cinema halls @RaviTeja_offl anna and my darling @ShivaNirvana have created a celebration across the Telugu states. #Irumudi is a must watch for the gripping storytelling and the message. Biggest celebratory hugs to Ravanna, Shiva and @MythriOfficial.”
Meanwhile, Vijay last starred in the 2024 film The Family Star and the 2025 film Kingdom . He also had cameos in the 2024 hit Kalki 2898 AD and in Sing Geetham this year. Set in the 19th century, the film is based on real historical events that took place between 1854 and 1878.
Both films failed to make a mark at the box office and received lukewarm reviews. Vijay is currently shooting for Ravi Kiran Kola’s Rowdy Janardhana , which stars Keerthy Suresh as the female lead. He also has Rahul Sankrithyan’s Ranabaali with wife Rashmika Mandanna as his co-star. After films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, Ranabaali will be the third film in which Rashmika and Vijay will appear together as lead actors. In Ranabaali, Vijay essays the role of Ranabaali while Rashmika Mandanna plays Jayamma. Arnold Vosloo, best known for The Mummy, plays the antagonist Sir Theodore Hector. Ranabaali is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar, with T-Series presenting the film. The movie is set against a British-era backdrop and will be made as a period action drama.
