Vijay Deverakonda is currently the most happening hero in Telugu Cinema. He rose to stardom in a quick time and there is no looking back for the hero who projects himself as Rowdy. He calls his fans with the same name. Vijay Deverakonda has a different attitude off-screen but he is a totally different person onscreen. The actor has been blessed with abundant talent that with absolutely no background, Vijay Deverakonda is climbing up the ladder to the top. The hero is now doing back to back Pan Indian projects. He is currently working for the movie Fighter in the direction of Puri Jagannath and his next in the direction of Sukumar has been announced as well.
Before Yevade Subrahmanyam, Vijay was seen in shorter roles in the movies Nuvvila, Life Is Beautiful. However, the actor got a crucial role in Nani’s Yevade Subrahmanyam. Though Vijay is not the main lead, his role is extremely crucial. His character is so lovely in the movie and describes the true meaning of love. He plays the role of Rishi in the movie who is a close friend to Subrahmanyam played by Nani. Subrahmanyam is a monetary person who believes that money is everything. It was after his death that Nani’s character changes step by step. In the process of scattering Rishi’s ashes in Doodh Kashi, Subrahmanyam transforms into a complete and true human being. One of the best movies in recent times. But the slow pace hinders the experience at times. Vijay Deverakonda’s performance definitely needs a special mention.
The first major breakthrough for Vijay Deverakonda. His first film as a hero and this film is a major success. Tharun Bhascker has made his debut with the movie and the movie is extremely funny. Pelli Choopulu is so casual in the narration, dialogues, performances that we don’t see the actors but the characters. Both Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma have got equally important roles. Pelli Choopulu is a film that can be watched multiple times without any complaints. Music by Vivek Sagar is another plus point.
Career changing movie for Vijay Deverakonda. After Pelli Choopulu, Dwaraka bombed at the box office but Arjun Reddy became a cult classic. Arjun Reddy is a film that broke many stereotypes. Arjun Reddy is a sensation. Sandeep Reddy Vanga has debuted as the director with this film and words can’t describe the awesomeness of Vijay Deverakonda’s performance. He literally put his blood in the movie and performed. Arjun Reddy is a film that will stay in audiences’ hearts for many years. So many stars in Tollywood have envied that Arjuna Reddy did not come to them. Arjun Reddy is a film that has brought him national-level recognition. Arjun Reddy was remade into Hindi with the title Kabir Singh. The movie was directed by Sandeep Reddy and it met the same result.
Again not a lead role for Vijay Deverakonda, but his performance is up to the mark. Nag Ashwin, the director of Yevade Subrahmanyam has made Mahanati, the biopic on Savitri, the legendary actress. Vijay Deverakonda has played a crucial role in the movie. He plays second fiddle to Samantha in the movie yet he gets his recognition. He has done this role just for the sake of Nag Ashwin. Mahanati is a sensational blockbuster.
Vijay Deverakonda’s strength lies in picking up the subjects. in Arjun Reddy, Vijay Deverakonda’s role is somewhat rude and outspoken, close to a maniac kind of role. To the complete contrast, in Geetha Govindam, he is a soft-spoken guy, a boy next to the door character who dreams of his ideal wife. He has some values in the movie. His versatility in picking up different roles has become a huge plus to his career. Geetha Govindam is such a blockbuster that all the invested parties have received double, triple profits. Parasuram is the director of the movie and Rashmika Mandanna has paired opposite Vijay Deverakonda. Their pair has got a good reception. The songs in the movie are huge chartbusters. Inkem Inkem Kavale is pure magic.
Taxiwaala as the title suggests is a movie that revolves around a vintage car. Vijay Deverakonda has played another boy next door kind of character but it is different in its own way. Taxiwaala is not a romantic entertainer but a thriller. The movie deals with an interesting concept of Astral Projection through which one can separate soul and body before the death and also meet the dead. One such experiment goes haywire and the soul gets stuck in the car. The song Maate Vinadhuga is a huge chartbuster just in the range of Inkem Inkem Kavale from Geetha Govindam. Taxiwaala is extremely funny most of the film and the sentiment scenes were dealt very neatly too. It is one of the major commercial successes for Vijay Deverakonda.
Some films though fail to get the expected results, can be termed as good movies at a later point in time. Dear Comrade is one such movie. Directed by Bharat Kamma, Dear Comrade is a multilayered film. His performance in the movie is top-notch. It is the second collaboration of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. The chemistry between these two is on another level. Justin Prabhakaran has composed music for the film and they are highly successful. However, the movie failed to attract the audiences as it was slow-paced and the director failed to deal with multiple genres in one film. Nevertheless, it is a decent attempt for Vijay Deverakonda and can be watched once only for him.
Dear Comrade and the next followed World Famous Lover bombed at the box office but the craze of Vijay Deverakonda is still intact. Current youth are so connected to him. Vijay Deverakonda is a fantastic actor and we can expect so many memorable movies in the near future. With Puri Jagannath’s Fighter, Shiva Nirwana’s movie, Sukumar’s project Vijay Deverakonda is expecting that his career will be on the next level.
