Vijay Devarakonda is an exemplary witness of overnight stardom. ‘Arjun Reddy’ drenched him in ultimate craze among youth and stardom that he had never imagined even in the wildest of his dreams. ‘Geetha Govindam’ took his craze to the next level, extending his popularity to families also. Though his films like ‘NOTA’, ‘Dear Comrade’ and ‘World Famous Lover’ flopped at the box office, his popularity has not waned a bit. We all know that Vijay is busy with his ‘Fighter’ under the direction of Puri Jagannath. He has now announced that he is going to team up with genius director Sukumar for his upcoming film.
Vijay Devarakonda started his career with minor roles in films like ‘Life is Beautiful’ and ‘Yevade Subrahmanyam’. He debuted as a solo hero in Tharun Bhascker’s ‘Pelli Choopulu’ which became a silent blockbuster. The film’s team faced financial issues while making it and had to overcome various hassles to release it. ‘Pelli Choopulu’ amassed more craze to its director rather than Vijay.
Debutant director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Arjun Reddy’ shocked TFI with it raw content and bold dialogues. It was declared as a unanimous hit on its release day and made youth to flock to theatres. This made Vijay Devarakonda a youth-icon and spread his reputation to every nook and corner of the two Telugu-speaking states. Vijay’s supporting role in ‘Mahanati’ showcased his gentle side and his boy-next-door avatar in ‘Geetha Govindam’ brought him close to family viewers. ‘Taxiwala’ became an average grosser while ‘NOTA’, ‘Dear Comrade’ and ‘World Famous Lover’ completely failed at the box office.
His ‘Fighter’ with dynamic director Puri Jagnnath is his first film with a top director. Puri is in his top form by scoring a smashing hit with his previous outing ‘iSmart Shankar’. As Puri is known for showing his heroes in radical makeovers, Vijay’s fans are eager for this movie. Vijay has now announced a new film with Sukumar and even told that they are planning to release this movie in 2022. Let’s see how Vijay’s upcoming films with Puri Jagannath and Sukumar impact his career. All the best Vijay Devarakonda!
