The latest (and the last) season of Koffee With Karan opened with a bang, with Salman Khan appearing as Karan Johar’s first guest. The trailer for the second episode is now out, featuring Telugu star couple Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. The teaser gives fans a glimpse into their married life, with Rashmika revealing that she pursued Vijay to tie the knot.
Vijay and Rashmika reunited on screen in Ranabaali, a period action drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan. Vijay plays the titular character, while Rashmika portrays his wife, Jayamma. Set in the 1800s Madras presidency, Ranabaali tells the story of how British colonial rule created a man-made famine in India just to export more grain to Britain.
The film was released in theatres on October 16, 2026, marking the couple’s first on-screen collaboration since their wedding.
The filmmaker asks them whether there was a proposal. The actor admits it saying, “I asked him for a year. A shocked Karan looked at Vijay, who quickly responded, “I’m not an a*****e. The trailer also shows Rashmika picking Allu Arjun over Ranbir Kapoor during the rapid-fire round. In another segment, Karan asks Vijay which female actor, apart from Rashmika, he thinks he shares good on-screen chemistry with. Rashmika answers on his behalf, saying, “Nobody.
The trailer begins with Karan welcoming Vijay and Rashmika, calling them a “blockbuster couple”. As Rashmika nodded ‘no’, Vijay responded, “She said let’s get married. He went on to say, “I told her that ‘You asked me like a 100 times.’” Karan then turns to Rashmika to confirm whether she really asked Vijay to marry her a hundred times. Vijay responds with a cheeky take on married life, saying, “First rule of marriage, agree with the wife.”
