While Rashmika greeted the paparazzi and posed for pictures with fans, Vijay entered the restaurant through the back. A video of their lunch date has since gone viral on social media.

For the unversed, Rashmika and Vijay have been speculated to be romantically involved ever since the release of their film “Geetha Govindam.” The duo is often spotted together at public events and vacations. Despite the many signs suggesting a relationship, neither Rashmika nor Vijay has publicly confirmed anything.

Work-wise, Mandanna was recently seen in ‘Sikandar’ alongside Salman Khan. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the action thriller was released on March 30 and opened to a mixed response. Despite much fanfare and high expectations, “Sikandar” failed to make an impact at the box office.
