Actor Vijay Deverakonda was last seen in the 2025 film Kingdom. After over a year, the actor returns to the big screen with another big-scale movie. The upcoming film, Ranabaali, is a period drama that also reunites him with Rashmika Mandanna on screen. The couple has worked together in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. Ranabaali also marks their first film together since their marriage earlier this year.

Vijay Deverakonda is one actor whose career can be easily divided into pre- and post-pandemic phases. All of the actor’s hit films were released pre-pandemic, earning him star status, a loyal fan following, and the goodwill of producers. However, since the pandemic, the actor’s films have struggled at the box office. Can Ranabaali change that for the actor?

How Much Does Ranabaali Need To Become Vijay Deverakonda’s Highest Grosser?

The period drama, which focuses on the famine of the 20th century, will see Vijay play a savior of his people against the British Empire. The film will be released in theatres on October 16, clashing with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2.

Currently, Vijay’s highest grosser is his 2018 film Geetha Govindam. The film, which marked his first on-screen collaboration with Rashmika Mandanna, earned approximately 88 crore in India. This means Ranabaali needs to cross that mark to set a new record for him. If Ranabaali crosses the 88 crore mark, it will also become the highest-grossing film featuring Rashmika and Vijay together.

More About Ranabaali

The film is an important one for Vijay Deverakonda. Not only does it reunite him with his wife on screen, but he also needs it to change his box-office status. While Rashmika Mandanna has had a dream run at the box office post-pandemic, with blockbuster films, Vijay has not had the same luck. With Ranabaali being touted as a grand period drama, all eyes are on whether this Dussehra release will turn the tables for its lead actor.

Director Rahul Sankrityan describes his film as an alternate-history film, which means it takes a part of history and reimagines how it could have played out. The upcoming film is set against the backdrop of the 19th-century famine in southern India under British rule. Vijay plays a fictional character who is also the savior of his people.

Ranabaali could be the comeback Vijay Deverakonda has been waiting for. He is aggression personified in the trailer as the titular character. Rashmika Mandanna is charming as Jayamma and seems to be the soul of the film. This marks the couple’s on-screen reunion after Dear Comrade (2019). Previously, the couple has shone on screen with their chemistry. However, Ranabaali places them in a different era and set of circumstances, unlike their previous screen collaborations.
