If necessary, additional receptions may be considered at a later stage to accommodate well-wishers in a more structured and secure manner.
Entry to the venue will be strictly limited to guests with valid invitations. Individuals without official invites are respectfully requested not to visit the venue, as access will not be permitted under any circumstances. Vijay and Rashmika extend their heartfelt gratitude to their fans and supporters for the overwhelming love. `Your safety and happiness mean everything to us.
