The wedding is supposed to take place in Annapurna Studios on 4th December. The couple chose the studio as their wedding place because it is named after Naga Chaitanya's grandmother Annapurna Akkineni and the place holds a special significance in their lives. The couple got engaged on August 8, 2024, and on October 21, Sobhita dropped pictures from her Pasupu danchadam ritual, marking the beginning of the wedding festivities. It is a ritual that is followed in the Telugu-speaking states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana which marks the beginning of wedding festivities. It is held after the engagement ceremony and before the haldi. The ritual involves women pounding turmeric in a pestle, and the turmeric is then stored for use in other wedding functions. The ceremony also involves decorating the house and inviting guests to participate.
