Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda Cyber Complaint: Rumours, Objectionable Remarks and AI Videos Explained

Actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have filed a cyber complaint over social media posts allegedly spreading fabricated claims, misleading information and derogatory content about their relationship. The complaint, filed with the Cyberabad police by their manager, reportedly identifies several categories of posts that the couple’s team considers objectionable.

According to a source quoted exclusively by Hindustan Times, the complaint covers rumours about an alleged incident on the sets of Koffee With Karan, claims of a relationship rift, offensive remarks comparing the couple with other celebrity pairs, and AI-generated content mocking their relationship.

The controversy gained momentum after Mandanna and Deverakonda appeared together on filmmaker Karan Johar’s talk show. Their account of how their relationship developed prompted a range of reactions online, with some users criticising aspects of their story and discussing what they considered relationship red flags.

However, the couple’s team has drawn a distinction between criticism and the circulation of allegedly fabricated or misleading claims presented as facts.

1. Rumours that Rashmika Mandanna broke down on the Koffee With Karan set

One of the issues reportedly mentioned in the complaint involves a Reddit post claiming that the shooting of Koffee With Karan had been halted for an hour after Mandanna became emotional over Deverakonda’s behaviour.

The post’s author allegedly claimed to have inside knowledge as a member of the show’s crew. The claim subsequently circulated across social media, including Instagram pages that reportedly reproduced the allegation.

According to the Hindustan Times report, those Instagram accounts have been mentioned in the complaint.

The allegation concerns an incident that has not been independently established by the information provided. Its circulation illustrates how claims attributed to anonymous or unverified sources can spread rapidly when reposted by multiple accounts.

For the couple’s team, the issue is reportedly not simply that users discussed their appearance on the show, but that an unverified account of an alleged behind-the-scenes incident was circulated as though it were factual.

2. Breakup rumours and claims that Vijay Deverakonda unfollowed Rashmika

Another category of posts reportedly covered by the complaint involves claims that Deverakonda had unfollowed Mandanna on social media after the episode aired.

Some accounts used the alleged unfollowing as evidence of a relationship rift, with posts suggesting that another breakup or divorce was imminent.

The source report states that Deverakonda has not followed anyone on social media to date. Consequently, claims that he unfollowed Mandanna were based on a premise that the report says was incorrect.

Other posts reportedly suggested that Deverakonda faced criticism from feminists after the couple discussed their proposal story.

These claims also appear to have been included in the complaint, according to the report.

The episode highlights how social media activity can become the basis for speculation about celebrity relationships, even when the underlying claims have not been verified. In this case, the couple’s team has reportedly challenged posts that presented an alleged online action as evidence of a personal dispute.

3. Objectionable remarks and comparisons with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone

The complaint reportedly also identifies posts comparing Mandanna and Deverakonda’s discussion of their relationship with an earlier Koffee With Karan appearance by Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.

During their October 2023 episode, Padukone discussed taking time before deciding to marry Singh. Deverakonda similarly spoke about taking time before saying yes after Mandanna proposed, according to the source report.

The parallels prompted commentary across X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram. While comparisons between celebrity relationships can form part of ordinary entertainment discussion, some accounts allegedly went further by posting offensive comments and sexual remarks about Mandanna, Deverakonda and Padukone.

Specific posts containing such remarks have reportedly been identified in the complaint.

The distinction is important: discussing a public interview or disagreeing with a celebrity’s statements is different from directing sexually explicit or degrading remarks at the people involved.

The couple’s team has reportedly sought accountability for content it considers fabricated, manipulated or objectionable, rather than attempting to prevent all public discussion of the episode.

4. AI-generated videos and images mocking the couple

AI-generated content has become another point of concern in the controversy.

According to the report, several Instagram and X accounts shared AI-generated material involving Mandanna and Deverakonda after details of their relationship and proposal story were discussed on the show.

Some posts allegedly mocked Deverakonda by suggesting that he had made Mandanna propose to him 100 times. The source report says that specific posts adopting a derogatory tone have been mentioned in the complaint.

AI-generated images and videos can be used for satire, parody and entertainment. However, questions arise when manipulated material is presented in a misleading way, depicts people in degrading situations or is used to reinforce claims that have no factual basis.

In the couple’s case, the complaint reportedly identifies particular examples rather than challenging every AI-generated post involving them.

The issue also reflects a wider challenge for public figures navigating online platforms, where fabricated visual content can circulate alongside genuine photographs and videos. Viewers may find it difficult to distinguish authentic material from manipulated media, especially when posts are shared without context.

5. What Team Virosh said after filing the cyber complaint

Following the complaint, Team Virosh issued a press note explaining its position on online criticism and the alleged circulation of misleading material.

The statement acknowledged the importance of free expression while arguing that it should not be confused with presenting fabricated information as fact.

“While we fully respect freedom of speech, individual opinions and the right to express criticism, there is a clear distinction between expressing an opinion and presenting fabricated, manipulated or materially misleading claims as facts,” the statement said.

The team also clarified that the complaint was not intended to restrict genuine opinions or criticism. Instead, it described the action as a request for accountability over the content identified.

The statement positions the complaint as a response to specific alleged conduct rather than a demand that audiences refrain from discussing the couple.

Whether individual posts amount to unlawful conduct is a separate question that depends on the evidence and applicable law. The filing of a complaint does not, by itself, establish that every allegation is true or that every account mentioned has committed an offence.

Why the controversy began after Koffee With Karan

Mandanna and Deverakonda’s appearance on Koffee With Karan brought renewed attention to their relationship and the story of how they became a couple.

The episode prompted varied reactions. Some viewers discussed their interactions and questioned aspects of their relationship narrative, while others criticised Deverakonda’s behaviour or expressed reservations about the proposal story.

That commentary became the backdrop for the rumours and posts now reportedly covered by the cyber complaint.

Celebrity interviews often lead to intense online discussion, particularly when they involve personal relationships. But the speed at which commentary spreads can blur the line between opinion, speculation and factual claims.

In this instance, the couple’s team has reportedly objected to claims about an alleged incident during filming, supposed changes in the couple’s social media relationship, offensive comparisons and AI-generated material.

The complaint therefore centres on the nature of the content identified, not merely on the fact that the couple became the subject of public discussion.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s relationship and recent work

Mandanna and Deverakonda married in Udaipur in February 2026, following their engagement in Hyderabad in October 2025, according to the supplied report.

The actors also recently appeared together in Ranabaali, a period action film directed by Rahul Sankrityan.

Following the criticism surrounding their Koffee With Karan appearance, the couple addressed the reactions and said they were happy together.

Their cyber complaint has brought the focus back to the consequences of online rumours and the circulation of allegedly misleading material about public figures.

What happens next in the cyber complaint case?

The complaint reportedly identifies social media posts and accounts associated with several categories of alleged misinformation and derogatory content. The details available in the source report do not establish the outcome of any police inquiry or confirm whether action has been taken against particular accounts.

A formal complaint gives the authorities an opportunity to examine the material presented and assess it under the applicable legal framework. Any conclusions about specific users or posts would depend on the evidence and the findings of the relevant authorities.

For social media users, the episode serves as a reminder to verify claims before sharing them, particularly when they concern private relationships or alleged incidents for which no reliable evidence has been provided.

The broader distinction remains central to Team Virosh’s statement: public figures can be criticised, and audiences can express disagreement, but allegedly fabricated claims and manipulated content presented as facts raise different concerns.

For now, the complaint marks the couple’s formal response to the online controversy. Further developments will depend on the authorities’ examination of the material and any subsequent statements from the parties involved.
