As the countdown begins for his wedding, Kannada actor Chikkanna is personally delivering invitations to friends from the film fraternity and political circles. Among those he met recently were Yash and Radhika Pandit, with the actor visiting the couple's residence to invite them to his wedding celebrations scheduled for August 29 and 30 in Mysuru.

The meeting brought together two actors who have shared a close friendship over the years. Chikkanna has worked with Yash in hit films such as Kirataka, Raja Huli and Masterpiece, with their on-screen camaraderie translating into a lasting off-screen bond. Yash received the invitation and wished the actor well for the new chapter in his life.

The timing of the wedding has also caught the attention of fans. Chikkanna will tie the knot just three days after the release of Yash's much-awaited Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups on August 26. With Yash expected to be occupied with the film's release and promotional commitments, it remains to be seen whether the actor will be able to attend the wedding festivities.

Chikkanna will marry Pavana, a native of Mahadevapura village in Srirangapatna taluk of Mandya district. The marriage has been arranged by their families, and the engagement and traditional pre-wedding ceremonies were completed earlier in the presence of close family members.

Known for his comic timing and lively screen presence, Chikkanna has often joked about his marriage during television appearances and public events. His decision to finally settle down has been welcomed by fans and colleagues alike, with congratulatory messages pouring in on social media.

The wedding celebrations will be held at Spectrum Hall in Mysuru over two days. Ahead of the ceremony, Chikkanna has been meeting several prominent personalities to extend invitations personally, including former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Sri Nirmalanandanatha Swamiji, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, and actor Jaggesh, besides several members of the Kannada film industry.

With friends from cinema and politics expected to attend, Chikkanna's wedding is shaping up to be one of the notable gatherings for the Kannada film fraternity this month.
