Vijay Reflects On The Film That Changed His Life

Vijay Devarakonda turned emotional as Pelli Choopulu completed 10 years since its release. Directed by Tharun Bhascker and this is Vijay’s first film as a lead hero and became a major breakthrough in his career.

On the lovely special occasion Vijay shared a lovely heartfelt note thanking director Tharun Bhascker, producers Yash Rangineni and Raj Kandukuri and everyone who believed in him honestly.

He said the film gave him huge confidence to follow his dreams and changed his life forever for sure. Vijay also thanked each and every Telugu viewer for their love and support over the long years.

He remembered Ritu Varma, Priyadarshi, Abhay, Nagesh and music director Vivek Sagar saying he will always cherish the lovely film and its memories without fail for sure.

10 years.

Something feels very strange about reading that 10 years ago we all met in the theatres 🙂 that we laughed and fell in love and formed a bond that keeps us together till today.

Something feels very heavy.
